Former president Jacob Zuma’s son, Duduzane Zuma, is in the dock on Tuesday in his culpable homicide trial relating to the 2014 death of Phumzile Dube, 30, when his Porsche collided with a minibus taxi. The Randburg court heard that the state had consulted with a pathologist and Mashaba’s death was ruled a result of natural causes.

State prosecutor Yusuf Baba told the court that Mashaba suffered from a pre-existing condition, which the state was unaware of earlier, that led to her death. The condition was not linked to the car crash.He said in a statement read out by his legal representative, Mike Hellens, that he was driving on the M1 south around 10pm. He said it was raining and he lost control after driving through a pool of water.
