Former South African President Jacob Zuma was involved in a traffic accident on Thursday in the country's province of KwaZulu-Natal, but wasn't injured. According to reports, a car drove straight into the vehicle he was in during a convoy.
A man has been charged with reckless and negligent driving following a collision with Jacob Zuma's convoy, National Spokesperson for South African Police Service, Athlenda Mathe,
said on X on Friday.
“Police have arrested a 51-year-old man for drunk driving as well as on a charge of reckless and negligent driving. The man’s motor vehicle collided with former President Jacob Zuma’s official armored state vehicle,” Mathe said.
The accused will make appear before the Eshowe Magistrate Court next Tuesday.
The accident happened on the same day when it became known that the
South Africa's Electoral Commission had upheld objections to Zuma's candidacy in parliamentary elections.
The ex-president's daughter and others believe that the former president was the intended victim of the staged accident. However, there is currently no evidence that could prove this.
