Pretorius' docket goes missing



Johannesburg - The appearance of Springbok flyhalf Andre Pretorius in Randburg magistrate's court on a charge of drunken driving was delayed on Wednesday morning when the docket went missing.

His lawyer, Carrol von Molendorff told journalists waiting outside the courtroom that the docket had gone missing.

Pretorius, 27, who also plays for the Golden Lions, was arrested at the end of January in Main Road Bryanston, after his car collided with another.

The other driver was also arrested and both were released on R500 bail.

"Both were booked for drunken driving," said police spokesperson Captain Schalk Bornman at the time.

The case was initially postponed for the finalisation and receipt of blood tests taken after the accident.
