Cindy: ‘I was not drunk’
Makhathini said she was not under the influence of alcohol when the incident occurred.
“FYI, I was not drunk. We were driving with a baby in the car, and it was a long distance,” she said.
“The car is still moving, but that is just the least of my worries. The damage I caused at that garage is too much, but I cooperated with the police and the owner.
“The police did a breathalyser test, and there was no alcohol in my blood. It was just an honest mistake,” she added.
The influencer said she would provide further details once she has “calmed down.”
Meanwhile, gossip blog Maphepha Ndaba posted a video of an eyewitness describing what happened.
“It was parked here. It came in slowly, like how a car would move if it’s in first gear without the accelerator engaged,” the man said in the video.
