Jacob Zuma was the former President of South Africa, serving from May 9, 2009, to February 14, 2018. Zuma is a divisive politician who has been accused of rape and corruption, but has been found not guilty of all counts. He began working as a child to support his family after losing his father early in life, and thus was unable to acquire any formal education. He joined the African National Congress and its military branch when he was a teenager. For conspiring to topple South Africa's apartheid government, he was sentenced to ten years in prison. He set up underground networks after his release and continued to work for the ANC from adjacent nations. He returned to the country once the government's ban on the ANC was overturned, and was elected deputy president of the country. During his time as vice president, he was embroiled in a series of corruption scandals and was also accused of rape, leading to legal issues. Despite multiple claims of corruption, he remained a popular figure within the ANC, and after being acquitted of all charges, he was elected as South Africa's fourth President. After a no-confidence resolution was introduced against him in parliament, he resigned after nearly nine years in power. He is a polygamist with 20 children, a fact that has been widely ridiculed and scrutinized around the world.
He's been married six times and is estimated to have 20 children across those marriages.
