One of DuduzaneZuma’s culpable homicide charges withdrawn following new evidence

The state will no longer be prosecuting Duduzane Zuma on one of his two charges of culpable homicide, a state prosecutor told the Randburg Magistrate Court on Tuesday, where the son of former president Jacob Zuma faces charges of culpable homicide and negligent driving.The National Prosecuting Authority announced that it would prosecute former president Jacob Zuma’s son for culpable homicide in April last year.

Taxi passenger Phumzile Dube was killed and three others were injured after Zuma’s Porsche rear-ended a minibus taxi on the M1 South off-ramp to Grayston Drive in Sandton. Later, a second passenger, Nanki Jeanette Mashaba also passed away, in what has now been determined to have been caused by her pre-existing conditions.

Zuma’s lawyer today read out a statement in court, in which Zuma admits to losing control of the vehicle after hitting a puddle and mentions the deceased as well as the two injured.
