Jacob Zuma, a prominent South African politician, held the presidency from 2009 to 2018. Throughout his political journey, Zuma's trajectory has been a blend of achievements and controversies, rendering him a polarizing figure within South African politics.
His legacy is a subject of ongoing debate, as supporters commend his role in the anti-apartheid movement, while critics emphasize the scandals and legal challenges that overshadowed his tenure as president.
