There’s something to be said for those who relentlessly self-promote themselves in any way possible.

That something is usually that they are douche bags, but we’re not much into the business of name-calling here. DJ Sbu has been in the news a fair bit recently in the wake of drumming up a fake FORBES magazine cover, as well as promoting his energy drink without going through the right channels.

It isn’t news that the DJ has a penchant for speed, but now we can add driving after a few too many to his rap sheet. Here’s TimesLive:

Gauteng police spokesman, Captain Tsekiso Mofokeng, confirmed yesterday that the 37-year-old “was arrested in the early hours of Saturday morning on a charge of driving under the influence of alcohol and will be appearing in court on Monday.

“He was arrested on Main Reef road, near Randfontein, and was later released on R1500 bail,” said Mofokeng.

He isn’t the only Vaalie driving after a few too many it seems, and last weekend’s slew of arrests shows that not everyone is a fan of ‘arrive alive’.

He seems intent on causing disaster of some sort.

Here’s DJ Sbu’s speeding history:

In December 2007 the former MetroFM DJ was reportedly caught driving at 257km/h on the Golden Highway, south of Johannesburg. In 2012 he allegedly collided with an ADT vehicle while driving then girlfriend Terry Pheto’s car in Sandton.

Last year he was caught speeding near Lynnwood Road on the N1 North in Pretoria driving at 172km/h in a 120km/h zone.

Now you would have to say that for the safety of the general public this man should not be behind a wheel. We can assume he earns a decent wage, so why does he insist on driving around like a mompara? Are you not aware that speed kills?

I know we drum on about it but it’s called Uber and it makes getting home a walk in the park. Don’t be a fool, join HERE and get R150 off your first ride.
