SOUTH AFRICA: Jacob Zuma's Son Duduzane Accused Of Road Death
http://www.africaeagle.com/2014/12/south-africa-jacob-zumas-son-duduzane.html
A South African inquest has found that President Jacob Zuma's son was negligent in a car accident which caused the death of a woman.
Prosecutors had initially ruled out charging him, but they will now be under pressure to do so, correspondents say.
Duduzane Zuma's Porsche hit the back of a minibus in Johannesburg in February, killing the woman instantly.
The president has 21 children and has married six times.
Mr Zuma, 30, told the inquest that he lost control of his car after driving into a puddle.
However, magistrate Lolita Chetty ruled that he did not behave in "a reasonable manner under the circumstances".
In July, the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) declined to charge the 30-year-old businessman with culpable homicide, or manslaughter, saying there was insufficient evidence.
Three other people were injured in the accident.
