You're referring to the resignation of Jacob Zuma as the President of South Africa in 2018.

Yes, Jacob Zuma resigned as the President of South Africa on February 14, 2018, after serving as the country's head of state since 2009. His resignation came after a long-standing political crisis and intense pressure from his own party, the African National Congress (ANC), as well as opposition parties and civil society organizations.

The pressure on Zuma mounted after a series of scandals, including allegations of corruption, state capture, and abuse of power. He was also facing a no-confidence vote in Parliament, which would have led to his removal from office.

In a televised address, Zuma announced his resignation, citing the need to avoid a protracted and costly legal battle over his removal. He also expressed his gratitude to the ANC and the people of South Africa for the opportunity to serve as President.

Zuma's resignation was seen as a major turning point in South African politics, marking the end of his tumultuous presidency and paving the way for a new era of leadership under his successor, Cyril Ramaphosa.
