'It's a traumatic experience for everybody. I was fortunate to walk away with my life. I take responsibility for what happened.'
This is according to Elias Maangwale, a senior private investigator at AfriForum's private investigation unit.
"It's difficult for the family, especially the mother of the deceased. But we are happy that the accused is in the box, under cross-examination," Maangwale said. Presenting his defence, Zuma told the court that he did not know that he had collided with another vehicle after he lost control of his car.Zuma said the car spun and veered to the left, from the right-hand lane, after he hit a puddle of water on the road."It would have been difficult to spot the pool of water. It was raining, there was poor visibility. Seeing pools of water is impossible in poor lighting. In my perspective, it was impossible to avoid what happened," Zuma said.
