The Randburg Magistrate’s Court has withdrawn one count of culpable homicide against Duduzane Zuma.

AfriForum’s Gerrie Nel said the NPA erred in its 2015 decision not to prosecute him for his role in the fatal car crash.maintains in his affidavit currently being read out by his legal team, Adv Mike Hellens SC, that on the day of the accident he hit a pool of water and lost control of his vehicle on the day of the accident.
