Jacob Zuma (born 12 April 1942) is a South African politician who served as the fourth President of South Africa from the 2009 general election[1] until his resignation on 14 February 2018, giving way to Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa, the ANC's new leader..

Jacob Zuma is also referred to by his initials JZ[2] and his clan name Msholozi.[3][4]

Deputy president

Zuma served as Deputy President of South Africa from 1999 to 2005,[5][6] but was dismissed by President Thabo Mbeki in 2005 after Zuma's financial adviser, Schabir Shaik, was convicted of soliciting a bribe for Zuma.

ANC president

Jacob Zuma was nonetheless elected President of the African National Congress (ANC) on 18 December 2007 after defeating Mbeki at the ANC conference in Polokwane. On 20 September 2008, Mbeki announced his resignation after being recalled by ANC's National Executive Committee.[7] The recall came after South African High Court Judge Christopher Nicholson ruled Mbeki had improperly interfered with the operations of the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA), including the prosecution of Jacob Zuma for corruption.
