About Jacob Zuma

Jacob Gedleyihlekisa Zuma (born 12 April 1942) GCB was the 5th President of South Africa, elected by parliament following the African National Congress's victory in the 2009 general election. He had previously served as Deputy President under Thabo Mbeki, and had replaced Mbeki as leader of the ANC in 2007 on a left-wing populist platform. Although many of his pledged policies were not implemented, he was re-elected in the 2014 election. However, in 2018 he was impeached for corruption and state capture. He was later arrested in July 2021 for failing to appear in court. His presidency has also been blamed for ongoing economic and energy crises.
