State evidence proves nothing in Duduzane Zuma's trial, says defence

That is what his lawyer Mike Hellens asked the Randburg magistrate's court on Wednesday, after the state wrapped up its case into the crash on February 1 2014.

Hellens wants the court to discharge the case against Duduzane, because the state failed to show he was driving recklessly and that the witnesses failed to disprove the defence's argument that the Porsche 911 Turbo, with four-wheel-drive, crashed due to it aquaplaning."What happened? A bizarre accident. Because someone did something wrong? No.He concluded it would be"astonishing" to put a"tapestry" together with the"quilts" of evidence the case presented.

Duduzane pleaded not guilty on Tuesday. He said in a statement, read out by his lawyer, that he lost control of his Porsche 911 Turbo after driving through a pool of water which he did not see due to the poor visibility from the rain.

This guy should be charge for capable homicide, whts there to prove! He caused the death of 2 ppl.

Was just about to say that a driver needs to adapt to the weather conditions then I saw the Porsche Drivers Manual. There's no excuse for this.

Rubbish, the Porsche drivers manual nullifies this argument.
