Jacob Zuma resigned on Wednesday as the ANC finally turned against him after a nine-year reign dominated by corruption scandals, economic slowdown and plummeting electoral popularity. Mr Zuma railed against the ANC for "recalling" him from office and - when he at first refused to resign - then threatening to oust him via a parliament no-confidence vote.
