Johannesburg – South African police are investigating President Jacob Zuma`s son for manslaughter following the death of a woman in an accident involving his sports car.
Businessman Duduzane Zuma aged 30, crashed his Porsche into a minibus taxi just before midnight on February 1 in Sandton according to the Sunday Independent, the Sunday Times and Eyewitness News radio.
Duduzane is one of four children that Zuma had with his second wife Kate, who committed suicide in 2000.
The victim was a 30-year-old Zimbabwean woman Phumzile Dube, who was buried in her home country Saturday.
“There was an incident where a Porsche collided in the rear of a taxi in the dark during heavy rain,” said Johannesburg Metro Police spokesman Wayne Minnaar.
“The taxi overturned and one person died; two were injured,” he said.
The husband of the deceased Themba Dube said no one had contacted the family.
“Zuma killed my wife and I want justice,” said Themba Dube. “It doesn’t matter whether he is the president’s son — justice doesn’t have eyes.”
Taxi driver Vusi Dlamini who happened to be at the scene collapsed and was rushed to hospital.
Speaking after gaining consciousness he said:
“I don’t like what happened. He bumped me out of the blue and my taxi overturned. One passenger died instantly,”.
The police officer who attended at the accident scene is reported to have failed to take blood samples from Zuma to establish if he was driving under the influence of alcohol.
