"Our traffic law enforcement captured a vehicle which was driving 187km/h. When they tried to stop that vehicle, it did not want to stop," says Free State traffic management's Noko Ramatsotso.


Malema was being driven to court in Bloemfontein where he is expected to appear on charges relating to him urging EFF members to occupy vacant land.


Ramatsotso confirms officials managed to stop the car in Ventersburg, after it sped away at a toll plaza.


"The driver is being taken back to Parys where a case will be opened against him for speeding in a 120km/h zone," says Ramatsotso.


After the arrest, Malema drove himself to court.
