On Tuesday, September 15, Steve Hofmeyr appeared in the Lenasia Magistrates’ Court after he was caught breaking the speed limit.
The controversial Afrikaans singer, whose full name is Stefanus Johannes Hofmeyr, was caught travelling 162km/h in a 120km/h zone.
The artist pleaded guilty to the charges.
He told the court in a statement read out by his lawyer that he had five dependants, his wife and four children. He earns between R60 000 and R70 000 a month before deductions. However, he could not afford to pay a R5000 fine.
The court reduced his fine to R2000 or he would be sentenced to four months in jail.
Hofmeyr said he was driving a blue Audi when he broke the speed limit. He explained it was not his car and was not used to driving it when the infringement occurred.
He further explained it was on a Sunday afternoon and the road was not busy.
This is his second such offence since January last year.
Previously, he was fined R10 000 for speeding after pleading guilty in the Bronkhorstspruit Magistrate’s Court.
