In a televised address, Jacob Zuma announced his resignation as president, effective immediately. He referred to the ANC’s decision to recall him and the scheduled parliamentary no-confidence vote. His departure followed years of contestation over accountability, public resources and allegations of state capture. The change of office did not resolve those underlying issues, but it ended the immediate standoff between the party leadership and the president it had deployed.
