JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - When Jacob Zuma bowed to pressure to quit as South Africa's president in 2018, he ranted to the state broadcaster for an hour about his treatment by the party he had served since his teenage years.
Besieged by sleaze and corruption scandals throughout his nine years in power from 2009, he said it was "unfair" the African National Congress (ANC) had told him to resign, mainly because his comrades had not followed proper party procedure.
