A black car suspected to have caused the crash in which President Jacob Zuma\u2019s children were injured on Friday morning was allegedly driven away after the accident.<\/p>\n
A relative of Zuma\u2019s wife Nompumelelo Ntuli-Zuma, the mother of Zuma\u2019s two injured young daughters, said the children were still at a hospital in Pietermaritzburg.<\/p>\n
Ntuli-Zuma\u2019s son, from a previous relationship, was also believed to be injured and in hospital. They were getting better and were eating and talking.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe children said a black car appeared out of nowhere and bumped their vehicle, leading to the crash. They said the other car did not stop,\u201d said the relative.<\/p>\n
However, police spokesman Thulani Zwane said police could not confirm or deny the allegation that the second car failed to stop.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are not going to discuss the details, except to say police are investigating. We confirm a case of reckless and negligent driving was opened for investigation. No arrests have yet been made,\u201d said Zwane.<\/p>\n
The accident happened near Copesville as the children were being taken along the R33 towards the city about 6am.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is a miracle that the children are recovering very well; those who witnessed the accident said they should not have survived,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The Sunday Times reported that Zuma was seen entering St Anne\u2019s Hospital about 7pm on Friday, and left in high spirits an hour later.<\/p>\n
It said Ntuli-Zuma was also at the hospital.<\/p>\n
The Sunday Times reported earlier that Jacob Zuma had been poisoned by his second wife Ntuli-Zuma. <\/p>\n
The paper said Ntuli-Zuma had been banned from the Zuma’s Nkandla home following claims of a plot to poison the president. The paper could not confirm that Zuma had been poisoned and it could not confirm the type of poison Ntuli-Zuma had allegedly used on her husband. <\/p>\n
It quoted three unnamed sources who “claim that although the president fell ill and was hospitalised last year, it was only during a trip to the US two months later that the still-ailing Zuma was told he had been poisoned”.<\/p>\n
