Both Duduzane Zuma's Porsche and the taxi which he collided with were driving between 90km and 100km per hour when the accident happened
"I saw the cars' headlights. I do not remember much, I just saw my car being involved in a crash. There was a lot of water on the road," he said.
Zuma's lawyer Mike Hellen put it to Dlamini:"Mr Zuma was travelling at approximately 90km to 100km an hour as it was raining heavily. His car hit a puddle, swerved and he lost control of the car. Mr Zuma couldn't avoid the collision."A passenger in the taxi, Matron Mdakane, 73, said she saw Zuma's car coming their way and she warned the driver.
Mdakane, who boarded the taxi with her friend Jeanette Mashaba, said she alighted the taxi to look for her friend because she could not see her."I went around the taxi and found her hanging from the window and bleeding from the nose, I tried to pull her out but her legs were stuck. I then got back in the taxi trying to pull her out," she said.
