Springbok flyhalf Elton Jantjies made a brief appearance in the Kempton Park Magistrates’ Court on Monday for allegedly acting in an unruly manner on a flight from Turkey at the weekend.
Jantjies was charged with malicious damage to property and the Contravention of the Aviation Act.
He was arrested when the aircraft landed at OR Tambo International Airport, following complaints from the flight crew members about a passenger in the business class that was swearing at passengers and crew members.
He is also alleged to have broken a TV screen and light bulb when he was ordered to return to his seat after breaking a glass that cut his finger.
NPA regional spokesperson Phindi Mjonondwane said the matter was postponed to the 3rd of June for further investigation and that Jantjies would remain out on bail of R1000.
