WATCH: ‘Free Duduzane, arrest De Klerk’

The case dates back to 2014, when Zuma’s Porsche crashed into a taxi resulting in the death of Phumzile Dube and injuring three others.

One of the injured, Nanki Mashaba, died three months later.

The case was postponed to the 23rd of August when evidence from an inquest into Dube’s death, which found Zuma to have been negligent, will be heard.

Zuma left the court flanked by police and members of the Black First Land First (BLF), who are demanding that the courts to leave him alone and instead arrest former president FW De Klerk.

“We have seen how the judiciary has been captured to settle political scores and to demonise those who stand for radical economic transformation in the country. So we are here in solidarity to the comrade that we saw a few days ago appearing in court in relation to allegations of corruption by the most corrupt people, like Mcebisi Jonas,” said BLF’s Zanele Lwana outside court. 

The situation escalated when BLF members attempted to prevent Afriforum CEO Kallie Kriel from speaking to the media. 

The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) initially declined to pursue charges against Zuma but changed its mind after Afriforum threatened to pursue a private prosecution. 

“Any white person who touches us, we will go to their homes, where they eat, where they work, we will find them, and we will deal with them. No court is going to stop us from defending ourselves against settlers. They stole our land, made us slaves and now today they are coming for our dignity, that will never happen,” said BLF leader Andile Mngxitama.

Kriel had to be escorted from premises by police.

“We must remember BLF is a fringe group and we should not commit time to such a group. They have no support and we will continue to fight for justice for the Dube family,” Kriel told the media.
