DuduzaneZuma 'It's a traumatic experience for everybody. I was fortunate to walk away with my life.'

In his previous court appearance, Zuma had applied for a discharge. Magistrate Tebogo Thupaatlase found, however, that Zuma had a case to answer.

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."I'm not sure what happened when the car was spinning," he said. 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," Zuma said.

When he hit the water, Zuma said it was difficult to control his car. "In my perspective it was impossible to avoid what happened."The trial continues.
