Duduzane Zuma applies to have culpable homicide case dropped

PRETORIA - Duduzane Zuma’s defence team has brought an application to have the culpable homicide case against him discharged on the grounds that the State has failed to submit evidence that their client acted negligently when he crashed his car into a taxi.

Zuma crashed his Porsche 911 on a wet and rainy night in February 2014. Phumzile Dube, a passenger in the taxi, was killed in the collision.Van Loggerenberg testified about the conditions in which a car is prone to aquaplane but was unable to provide definitive evidence about the conditions on the night Zuma’s car collided with a taxi.

Van Loggerenberg testified that a reasonable driver would be expected to reduce their speed in wet conditions but conceded that no driver would know exactly what speed to travel at to avoid aquaplaning.

This dude though 😡! Why is it so difficult to take responsibility Depends on speed and driver. So now, one of the most legendary handling cars in motoring industry is to blame... if it has a proneness to sliding, was the car really even roadworthy? And if he was driving a decent speed, is this an example of his driving incapability? I call BS.
