The convoy of former South African President Jacob Zuma was involved in a car crash on March 28.

Zuma was in his armoured state vehicle with his security crew at the time of the incident that occurred between Gingindlovu and Eshowe in KwaZulu-Natal, a coastal Province.

National Police spokesperson Brigadier Athlenda Mathe said the former statesman however escaped unhurt in the accident which happened at about 18:40 on the R66.

"No one was injured, including members of the Presidential Protection Services (PPS). The former president was evacuated and taken to his residence," Mathe was quoted by local news outlet News 24.

Details from the police further indicated that the crash was caused by a 51-year-old drunk driver who ran into the convoy of the former president.

He has since been arrested on charges of drunk, reckless, and negligent driving. He has been detained and is expected to appear before the Eshowe Magistrate Court on April 2, 2024.
