South Africa’s Prez Quits

South African President Jacob Zuma has resigned, as reported by the Axios website, scroll down. He did so ahead of a no-confidence vote he would surely have lost.

Poor, sad South Africa has largely squandered its apartheid-era patrimony; replacinging an unrepresentative government that worked with a representative government that doesn’t.
