This week, Thwala told TimesLive that it was a sport and was a legal event.
He said that being deputy mayor did not mean he couldn’t participate in sporting events.
Thwala dismissed any allegations that anyone was injured.
He said spinning cars was one of his favourite sports and the incident would not stop him.
