DuduzaneZuma tells court he was lucky to survive his Sandton crash
JOHANNESBURG – Duduzane Zuma has told the Randburg Magistrates Court about how the crash that claimed the life of a woman in 2014 affected him.
Another victim Nanki Mashaba, who was injured, later died in hospital but the court ruled that her death was due to pre-existing conditions. Zuma is facing difficult questions from the prosecution on details surrounding his crash into a minibus taxi that killed Dube in 2014.Zuma maintained that his vehicle hit a puddle of water and spun out of control while he hung on for dear life and didn’t at first see what he had struck.
But the prosecution said that in his initial testimony in the earlier inquest, he said that a vehicle that was overtaking him splashed water on his windshield affecting visibility, which led to him driving over the puddle. Zuma said at the beginning of his testimony that the event was traumatic and he was lucky to be alive.
