Gauteng Premier Nomvula Mokonyane has 50 speeding fines and two pending warrants of arrest against her name, The Star newspaper reported on Tuesday.
The daily newspaper said that the R17 000 in fines, ranging from R100 to R1500, were incurred over a period of four years and were registered on the metro police's database.
Two of the fines show pending warrants of arrest, which means a magistrate has decided to issue the warrant, but the order for arrest had not been signed yet.
The fines are linked to six vehicles.
It could not be proved that she was the driver at the time of the offences, but all the vehicles were registered in her name.
Mokonyane said in reaction: "I'd prefer not to talk about my personal life... Why are you choosing me to do this to? I believe you guys are being too hard on politicians."
