President Jacob Zuma resigned last night as the President of South Africa. This comes after the ruling party, ANC recalled him and announced its plans to pass a motion of no confidence vote in parliament earlier this week. Zuma’s resignation sent the country into a whirlwind of emotions and mixed reactions from citizens across social media.
Here’s a look at a few reactions.

Actually, I’m still waiting for Leon Schuster to pop out on the screen any moment now to say “Dis ‘n grappie julle… You’ve been Schucksed!”#ZumaResigns

Views from Rural areas and Taxi Ranks are different from those in Sandton, Hydepark and Twitter “No one is perfect, but Zuma delivered for me ….I don’t think the incoming President will satisfy everyone.“#ZumaResigns pic.twitter.com/5Rk7bJSfgB

I don’t know, something about #ZumaResigns doesn’t feel right. It’s like this weird gut feeling of uncertainty that I have.
