Police statement
In a statement from Metro Police Department spokesman Isaac Mahamba, he said: “Fifteen people were arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol between 10pm and midnight.
“Among the 15 people arrested, one is a 28-year-old former Orlando Pirates player currently playing for the national soccer team.
“Motorists are encouraged to rather find alternative transport than to drink and drive. Well done to the officers for the outstanding arrests. No one is above the law.”
Jali however denied the claims.
He was however released on bail.
