ANC Free State bigwig writes off luxury SUV as it rolls off the road

Vehicle veered off and landed in maize field
Free State ANC provincial secretary Polediso Motsoeneng is recovering in hospital.
Free State ANC provincial secretary Polediso "Dihelele" Motsoeneng escaped death by the skin of his teeth after crashing his R3.2-million Range Rover SUV on Monday night.
The crash occurred on the N5 freeway, 3km from Senekal, after he had left his hometown of Bethlehem for his political base in Bloemfontein.
Sunday World understands that Motsoeneng, who is the engine of the ANC administration in the province, was alone in his multi-million-rand, top-of-the-range vehicle when it rolled several times on the N5 freeway and landed in a maize field at a nearby farm. The saloon is a write off.
In a stroke of luck, paramedics travelling along the same road spotted the ANC boss's vehicle and stopped to help.
The Free State is notorious for its bad roads, which are riddled with potholes.
