President Jacob Zuma resigned as President of South Africa, the most important African country in the continent of 54 nations, which contains many troubled nations.
From the Clinton News Network (CNN):
'Jacob Zuma has quit as President of South Africa, finally succumbing to a slew of corruption scandals that have drained support from his ruling African National Congress party.
Last year, South Africa's Constitutional Court ordered Zuma to repay millions of dollars in public funds spent on refurbishing his private homestead.
He also faces more than 783 allegations of corruption relating to a 1990s arms deal. Zuma denies all the corruption allegations against him.

Panama Papers revelations
Clive Khulubuse Zuma, the nephew of Jacob Zuma, was named in the Panama Papers[198] as a result of his links to oilfields in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).

Wives
Jacob Zuma is a polygamist who has been married six times.[200][201] In 2012 The Daily Telegraph estimated Zuma to have 20 children,[4] whereas The Guardianin 2014 stated he had 21.[202]

She committed suicide on 8 December 2000 and is buried in Heroes' Acre at Westpark Cemetery in Johannesburg.[111][204][206]

Their first child was born in October 2007. She has another of Zuma's out-of-wedlock children living with her.[207] Mabhija grew up in Umlazi, where she matriculated at Umlazi Commercial High School. She has worked at Standard Bank, Ithala, Cell C and SA Homeloans in La Lucia.[208][209][210] She owns a house in Durban North.[211] In 2016, the BBC credited her for campaigning for the rights of girls at risk of forced or child-age marriage.[212]
- Gloria Bongekile Ngema, married on 20 April 2012. The wedding took place in Nkandla and was attended by Zuma's three other wives. Following a traditional ceremony known as umgcagco, the bridal party participated in a traditional Zulu competitive celebratory dance. Ngema has one son with Zuma, Sinqumo.[3]
In June 2012, activists, including some from the ANC itself, complained about the amount the state paid to support Zuma's wives, especially in the context of the country's widespread poverty.[4][111] In 2009/10 Zuma received a budget of £1.2m for "spousal support", almost twice the amount paid during the terms in office of Thabo Mbeki and Kgalema Motlanthe, leading to suggestions that only Zuma's first wife should receive state support.[4]
Fiancées
Zuma paid 10 cattle as lobola for Swazi Princess Sebentile Dlamini in 2003.[213]
Other children
- He has another son, Edward, with Minah Shongwe, sister of Judge Jeremiah Shongwe, who asked to be recused from Zuma's rape trial because of the liaison.[214]
- He has two daughters, born 18 January 1998 and 19 September 2002, with Pietermaritzburg businesswoman Priscilla Nonkwaleko Mhlongo.[215] In March 2017 Mhlongo was named as one of the speakers in a covert recording in which she was alleged to have outlined a plan for illegally defrauding the province of kwaZulu-Natal of a proportion of its school meals budget, apparently with Zuma's knowledge.[216]
- There are reports of four other children – three from a woman from Johannesburg and one from a woman from Richard's Bay.[207]
2009 "love-child"
In January 2010, The Sunday Times reported that Sonono Khoza, the daughter of Irvin Khoza, gave birth to Zuma's 20th child on 8 October 2009, a daughter called Thandekile Matina Zuma.[217][218] Zuma confirmed that he had paid inhlawulo, acknowledging paternity. He protested the publishing of the child's name, saying it was illegal exploitation of the child. .[219] On 6 February, Zuma said he "deeply regretted the pain that he caused to his family, the ANC, the alliance and South Africans in general."[220] The office of the presidency's comment was that it was a private matter,[221] ANC Youth League leader Julius Malema said "We are Africans and sitting here all of us, Zuma is our father so we are not qualified to talk about that". Malema said the ANCYL would emphasise its HIV programme and "one boyfriend, one girlfriend" stance in an awareness campaign across the country.[223] ANC Women's League deputy president Nosipho Dorothy Ntwanambi said: "it is not right to have an extramarital affair if you have committed to yourself to a marriage. But under the Customary Marriages Act, if the first wife agrees, and if all these issues are discussed with her, we can't do anything."[224] On 5 February, the ANC acknowledged the widespread disapproval by saying that the experience had "taught us many valuable lessons", and they had listened to the people.[225] COSATU, an ANC alliance partner, passed no judgment but hoped that it will be "a matter on Zuma's conscience"[225] Vavi reiterated Zuma's appeal then that he be accorded his "right to privacy" and the child protected from undue publicity.
She said it was wrong to say it was purely a private matter, and elected public officials had to embody the principles and values for which they stand.[227] The [226] while the Congress of the People (COPE) said Zuma could no longer use African cultural practices to justify his "promiscuity".[226] Independent Democrats leader Patricia de Lille, said Zuma was asking people "to do as I say and not as I do".[228]
THESE ARE CRIMES AND ALLEGATIONS OF CRIMES of any banana republic leaders.
Nations which are often corrupt, FAILED, debt-ridden and poor.
BUT the USA is not in this category. It is the greatest nation on earth, so we are told.
So why does the DNC persist in supporting Hilary as their leader, and Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi as party grandees???
Hilary faces CRIMINAL allegation CHARGES which are shall we say 100 times worse than those of President Jacob Zuma.......100 times worse....TREASON, SELLING STATE SECRETS TO FOREIGN POWERS, ELIMINATING AMERICANS (85).....HOPING AND PRAYING FOR WWIII....URANIUM 1, MENA, HAITI, CHILD TRAFFICKING, MONEY LAUNDERING, SATANISM......AND MUCH MORE.
A healthy democracy must have several effective functioning parties under good leaders....otherwise you end up with a dictatorship.
Why can't the DNC offer Michele Obama, or Oprah or Kamala Harris as new alternatives to Hilary....to the USA public?
Why does the party have to suffer death by a 1000 cuts in view of Hilary's antics?
November 2018 is only a few months away.
