SA President's son investigated over woman's death in crash

Duduzane Zuma was driving a Porsche when the accident happened in Sandton, an affluent area of Johannesburg, according to local media reports. The businessman could face charges, The Guardian informs.
Brigadier Neville Malila, a provincial police spokesman, said one person had died and two were injured in the road accident, but he declined to reveal the names of the drivers, pending an investigation. "We are investigating a case of culpable homicide," Malila said.
The case is politically sensitive for the president, who has been criticised amid allegations of corruption in his government and a multimillion-dollar upgrade of his private estate that triggered public outrage because it was paid for by the state. On Friday, Zuma announced that general elections would be held on 7 May in what he called an opportunity to build on South Africa's democracy, 20 years after the end of white minority rule.
The political opposition has alleged that police gave Duduzane preferential treatment at the crash site, citing reports that he was not given a mandatory breathalyser test and was allowed to have the car towed instead of it being impounded as evidence. The Democratic Alliance, the main opposition party, urged South Africa's police watchdog to investigate.
