Newsdeck: ‘It is done, there is nothing more I can say’ – Phumzile Dube’s mom on Duduzane Zuma’s acquittal

This after the court acquitted the son of former president Jacob Zuma, Duduzane Zuma, on a charge of culpable homicide and negligent driving.

“There is no evidence showing what the accused should have done to avoid aquaplaning. There is no evidence available to the court to find the speed which might have set a reasonable driver to have reduced the speed in order to avoid the puddle of water. It is therefore found that the State failed to prove its case,” Thupaatlase ruled.While former president Zuma and other family members walked out of court smiling, it was a sombre moment for the Dube family.

Reacting to the judgment, Mdakane said she was happy that the case was finally over, even though the verdict was against them. The National Prosecuting Authority said it respected the court’s decision and believed that the presiding officer had applied his mind when preparing his judgment.“We believe that it is a fair judgment. It has considered the facts brought before the court in its entirety,” NPA spokesperson Phindi Mjonondwane said.
