South Africa Jacob Zuma finally resigns on Valentine Day, proving that he loves his country
After years of attempts to remove him, and months of speculation, Jacob Zuma has been forced to step down as president of South Africa.
Mr Zuma had been in a vulnerable position since the end of his final term as head of the ruling ANC in December last year, when his rival Cyril Ramaphosa was chosen to lead the party.
The allegations of corruption around Mr Zuma were unrelenting.
Particularly damaging were the ongoing claims that a wealthy family from India - the Guptas - had gained lucrative state contracts and exerted undue influence on government appointments because of a corrupt relationship with the president.
While the Guptas and Mr Zuma consistently denied the claims, the stories of what is known as "state capture" kept coming.
