Former state prosecutor, Advocate Gerrie Nel, who now heads AfriForum's new private prosecuting unit, made the announcement at a press briefing on Tuesday.

Nel says AfriForum has filed papers to prosecute Zuma for culpable homicide.

It comes after a fatal crash in 2014. The Porsche that the president's son was driving collided with a taxi on the M1 highway.

Phumzile Dube died at the scene.

Nel says the National Prosecuting Authority decided not to prosecute without having consulted the family. Nel has made it abundantly clear that Zuma will not be prosecuted through the media.
