Taxi driver Jabulani Dlamini said he could not see anything except lights before DuduzaneZuma's Porsche crashed into him.
During cross-examination, Duduzane's legal representative, Mike Hellens, asked Dlamini if he had seen a similar accident as a taxi driver and if he considered it unusual.
Hellens claimed that, according to experts, a taxi would not spin if it was fully loaded with passengers, but did so on that night because of the wet conditions.Duduzane Zuma is seen at the Randburg magistrate's court on March 26 2019.Duduzane was in the dock on Tuesday in his culpable homicide trial relating to the 2014 death of Phumzile Dube, 30, after his Porsche collided with a minibus taxi.
He heard on Tuesday that he would not have to answer for the death of Jeanette Mashaba, who died in hospital a few weeks after the crash. The court heard that the state had consulted a pathologist and Mashaba's death was ruled to be the result of natural causes. State prosecutor Yusuf Baba explained that Mashaba had suffered from a pre-existing condition, which the state was unaware of earlier, that led to her death. It was not linked to the crash.
Zuma has pleaded not guilty. He said in a statement read out by Hellens that he was driving his Porsche 911 turbo on the M1 South around 10pm. He said it was raining and he lost control after driving through a pool of water.
