This happened over a weekend that saw numerous people being arrested for driving under the influence during matric "valedictory" celebrations. The City's mayoral committee member for safety, JP Smith, said on Monday: "One of those arrested was a police officer who took officers attached to the Ghost Squad on a wild chase through Khayelitsha into Eerste River at approximately 05:20 on Sunday." The squad comprises unmarked vehicles and officers in civilian clothes. The driver eventually lost control and hit a curb in Eerste River. He was arrested for driving under the influence, and reckless and negligent driving.
