DURBAN, kwaZulu-Natal - KZN traffic cops are looking for a former Generations soapie star and lead actor in the ' Isibaya' TV series after he was clocked at 153km/h north of Durban on Wednesday (Feb 25 2015).

Traffic management spokesperson Zinhle Mngomezulu said Siyabonga Twala was stopped by officers from the RTI's Groutville office while driving a borrowed car on the N2 near Ballito. An officer recorded Twala's details and handed his licence back to him but the actor sped off without accepting his R1500 penalty notice.

"The officer managed to take down his details but then he ran away. He can be arrested because he failed to comply with the lawful instructions of an officer," the spokesperson said.
