Police spokesperson Captain Kay Makhubela confirmed to Phakaaathi that the 36-year-old was arrested at Monte Casino on Sunday.
“He was found in possession of drugs and was taken to the Douglasdale Police Station and was released on R500 bail. He appeared at the Randburg Magistrates’ Court on Monday and will appear again sometime next week,” said Makhubela.
Ngwenya was released by Botswana’s Township Rollers in June 2015, and he decided to retire from professional football.
