UPDATE: Moot hit-and-run case postponed

The man's girlfriend, who was in the vehicle with him, turned a witness for the state.

A 33-year-old man appeared before the Pretoria Magistrate’s court on Tuesday after he had been arrested for being involved in a hit-and-run at a roadblock.

This follows after the man, along with his girlfriend (29), drove over a Moot CPF member during a routine roadblock on 7 June.

He was charged with attempted murder, negligent driving and leaving the accident scene.
