Zuma’s son faces court over 2014 death crash

The prosecutor who led the case against Paralympian Oscar Pistorius says he will privately take the son of South African president Jacob Zuma to court for culpable homicide.

Duduzane Zuma, 35, crashed his Porsche into a minibus taxi in heavy rain on Feb 1 2014, killing Phumzile Dube, a passenger, but the state declined to prosecute him.

Gerrie Nel, who prosecuted Pistorius over the murder of Reeva Steenkamp, has joined Afriforum, a lobby group that will take on the case as its first private prosecution.
