Carl Pistorius, brother of jailed paralympian Oscar Pistorius, will face reckless and negligent driving charges, following an accident outside Modimolle in Limpopo last year.
Police spokesperson, Colonel Ronel Otto says the decision was made earlier this month, after Pistorius failed to submit a statement.
She says the docket was sent to court, where a prosecutor instructed that charges be laid against him.
The matter will be heard in the Modimolle Magistrate's Court in February.
The accident took place outside Modimolle, when Pistorius's car collided head-on with another in August.
He had to be freed from the wreckage with the Jaws-of-Life, before he and the other driver were taken to hospital, both with serious injuries.
In May last year, Pistorius was acquitted on a culpable homicide charge, following an accident in 2008 in which a motorcyclist died.
