SA reacts after state drops culpable homicide charge against Duduzane Zuma.

Social media users have expressed shock that a case of culpable homicide has been dropped against former president Jacob Zuma's son, Duduzane, after the state told the court that the victim suffered from a"pre-existing condition".

Zuma appeared in the Randburg Magistrate's Court on Tuesday in connection with the 2014 deaths of Phumzile Dube and Jeanette Mashaba. The women died after Zuma's Porsche collided with a minibus taxi on the M1 highway near the Grayston Drive offramp. The court heard that Zuma will not have to answer for the death of Mashaba, who died in hospital a few weeks after the crash. This aftera pathologist ruled that Mashaba’s death was as a result of natural causes.

State prosecutor Yusuf Baba told the court that Mashaba suffered from a pre-existing condition, which the state was initially unaware of, and that this had led to her death. The condition was not linked to the car crash.Social media was filled with reaction to the decision, with many questioning why it was made.Please help me understand the 'preexisting condition' thing, angiyizwa kahle.

Zuma uses load-shedding mess to tell SA ‘I told you so’ on nuclearThe former president has reportedly even claimed that Russia would have been 'understanding' in the event we couldn't repay the R1 trillion. KhandaniM No lies detected He's telling the truth. KhandaniM Even with his nuclear plan in the pipeline we would still here. Kusile and Medupe are still not complete with cost overruns and from these it's clear that nuclear is not feasible and attainable, the project would possibly take a lifetime to complete.

Load-shedding would be history if SA had signed Russian deal, says Jacob ZumaFormer president says the R1-trillion agreement would have prevented SA’s current energy crisis But of course ..... it would have enriched him and his friends AND spared his life. Can he spell a Tr rands ? So now Jacob has the magical ability to get nuclear power stations operational in record time too? He and his band of merry idiots couldn’t deliver Kusile & Medupi in twice the time it should’ve taken, but nuclear would’ve been done by now?

Tito Mboweni blasted on social media for claiming SA is too 'Africanist''You go get to the airport through immigration, most of the immigration officials would be Africans, yet they should really be representing the demographics of the country, which is black and white, male and female.' Tito is right. We cry when companies are all white 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Why is that same emphasis made on senior management of private sector companies as well? We can't have 50/50 numbers because Indians ,colourds and white are the minority, but I do think that we should ensure that every sector represents our diversity.
