CAPE TOWN - Democratic Alliance (DA) member of the National Council of Provinces (NCOP) on Security and Justice, Nicholas Gotsell, has welcomed reports that the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) has decided to charge a Nigerian rapper for crashing his McLaren in Sea Point in March.

The musician, known as 3GAR Baby, is expected to appear in a Cape Town court soon for crashing his luxury supercar at high speed.

The NPA said the musician would be summoned to appear in court soon to face charges of reckless or negligent driving.

It's believed that the Nigerian rapper, whose real name is Prince Daniel Obioma, was driving at over 200km/h when he lost control of his vehicle and slammed into a pavement on High Level Road on 1 March.

Photos of him with blood gushing down his face circulated on social media shortly after the crash.

Gotsell said the wheels of justice were finally turning after months of pressure on the South African Police Service (SAPS) to investigate the matter.

"Over the past months, Cape Town and surrounds have been plagued by serious incidents involving luxury vehicles. Nobody, not even a so-called celebrity, is above the law."

It's understood that a passenger was also injured in the accident.
