Sunday World reported that Mkangisa failed to stop after bumping into another car in Johannesburg last week.

The actress apparently tried to get away from the scene but was chased by the police, who eventually caught her and arrested her - ending up spending a night in jail.

Police spokesperson, Lungelo Dlamini, said the case has been handed over to the National Prosecuting Authority.

"Yes I can confirm that a case has been opened against Mkangisa and at this stage, it has been handed over to the NPA", said Dlamini.

Mkangisa recently joined the cast of The Queen and plays the role of Akona.

eNCA.com contacted Mkangisa for comment but she was unavailable.
