Zuma son investigated for manslaughter

Police are investigating a son of South Africa’s President Jacob Zuma for manslaughter after a woman died in a car accident.

Duduzane Zuma, a businessman, crashed his Porsche into a taxi just before midnight on February 1 in the Johannesburg suburb of Sandton, according to media reports.

Police confirmed they were investigating the driver, but declined to name the person until charges are laid.

“There was an incident where a Porsche collided into 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 fatality was 30-year-old Zimbabwean national Phumzile Dube, who was buried in her home country on Saturday.

Her husband, Themba Dube, told reporters: “Zuma killed my wife and I want justice. It doesn’t matter whether he is the president’s son — justice doesn’t have eyes.”

Duduzane, 29, is one of four children Zuma had with his second wife Kate.
