Duduzane Zuma will appear in court, confirms lawyer
Former president Jacob Zuma’s son Duduzane Zuma has indicated that he will appear in court.
Zuma’s legal counsel has confirmed to Jacaranda FM News that their client will appear in court - in flesh and blood.
This comes amid speculation as to Duduzane’s whereabouts and whether he could possible be in Dubai and opt not to appear in court.
He is facing two counts of culpable homicide in connection with a car crash in 2014.
It will be his first appearance in the Randburg Magistrate’s Court on 12 July.

Lawyer, Rudi Krause says his client did indicate that he will show up.
Krause, who also represents the controversial Gupta family, says Zuma will reiterate his innocence.
Zuma will argue that he was not negligent when he collided with a taxi on the M1 highway which led to the deaths of Phumzile Dube and Nanki Mashaba.
The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) initially declined to charge Zuma but reviewed the decision after AfriForum’s private prosecuting unit indicated that it would pursue the matter.
