Former President Jacob Zuma recently found himself at the center of dramatic events in KwaZulu-Natal. Zuma miraculously survived a car accident after a motorist collided with his convoy, raising suspicions of foul play among his close associates.

The unfolding saga creates a buzz of uncertainty and speculation among South Africans, eager to see what the future holds for the charismatic but controversial figure.

In the midst of these events, reports surfaced of Zuma's car being hit by a drunk driver, further adding to the whirlwind of incidents surrounding the former president. Despite the setbacks, Zuma remains a prominent and polarizing figure in South African politics, leaving a lasting impact on the country's electoral landscape.
