in 2018, south africa's highest court found mr. zuma guilty of violating the constitution in regard to lavish spending of 246 million rand of state funds towards zuma's homestead in nkandla. after a home invasion and the subsequent rape of one of zuma's four wives, zuma undertook the means to upgrade security measures. a report by south africa's public protector in 2014 found zuma had inappropriately allocated state funds to finance additional home improvements such as the addition of a swimming pool, amphitheater, visitor center, and cattle enclosure to his property. zuma's time in office has been marked by controversy and outside accusations of corruption. zuma's close relationship with the gupta family has been highlighted in the former south african public protector's report on state capture. zuma's resignation on february 14 comes after months of pressure from the anc.
