This comes after reports that Duduzane crashed his Porsche into a taxi, leaving one person dead and two others injured. “The police are in the process of investigation and the post mortem is still outstanding,” added Malila.
According to Edna Mamonyane of the Metro police, the accident took place on Grayston Drive in Sandton. “There was no smell of alcohol so there was no need for him to take a breathalyser test,” she said. Mamonyane added that it was raining on the day of the accident and the police officer on the scene had difficulty writing down the statement, so he chose to take the statement from his car. “It is protocol that a breathalyser test only be taken if the officer has reason to believe that the motorist is under the influence of alcohol or drugs; there was no sign of that on the scene,” added Mamonyane.
Mamonyane also said Duduzane’s vehicle was not impounded as part of evidence because he was not in a critical medical condition. “The police would have only handled his vehicle if he had been taken away by an ambulance or if he was unable to nominate someone else to take on the responsibility.”
