Ekurhuleni metro police chief Robert McBride’s 2006 car accident could have been caused by an increase in his diabetes medication, the Pretoria Regional Court heard on Wednesday. McBride’s counsel told the court that two days before the accident, McBride had gone to see a doctor who allegedly doubled his type-two diabetes medication dose.
The first witness in the drunken-driving case of Ekurhuleni metro police chief Robert McBride told the Pretoria Regional Court on Monday that he was told he and his family would be murdered if he did not help in a cover-up for McBride. ”He wasn’t sober enough to drive,” the witness said.

My good friend Les Bush is, at 60-plus, the Eternal Party Animal. In the words of some T-shirt bard, Les "fears no beer". And he treats Jack Daniels with scant respect. But when I invited Les down to our new home in the Karoo Heartland town of Cradock, he thought he’d spend a few days of peace, quiet and deep-navel contemplation in Meerkat Country, writes Chris Marais.
