Witness denies Duduzane Zuma was 'driving at an excessive speed' before crash
JOHANNESBURG - Duduzane Zuma was not speeding when he crashed his Porsche into a minibus taxi during a storm in Johannesburg in 2014, a man who witnessed the accident told the Randburg Magistrate's court on Thursday.
Jankelowitz said he later heard about the accident on a popular radio station and called in because the radio DJ was "exaggerating" when saying the Porsche was racing. Earlie, accident reconstruction expert Konrad Lotter corroborated Zuma’s testimony. He told the court that former president Jacob Zuma's son was not speeding on the night of the fatal crash. He said that if Zuma was speeding at a higher speed than the taxi he collided with, he would have missed it altogether.
The public gallery was packed with Black First Land First political party members, who were supporting Zuma. Zuma has pleaded not guilty to the culpable homicide charge and negligent driving. The matter was postponed to June 20.
