"description": "Daily Maverick is an independent online news publication and weekly print newspaper in South Africa.\r\n\r\nIt is known for breaking some of the defining stories of South Africa in the past decade, including the Marikana Massacre, in which the South African Police Service killed 34 miners in August 2012.\r\n\r\nIt also investigated the Gupta Leaks, which won the 2019 Global Shining Light Award.\r\n\r\nThat investigation was credited with exposing the Indian-born Gupta family and former President Jacob Zuma for their role in the systemic political corruption referred to as state capture.\r\n\r\nIn 2018, co-founder and editor-in-chief Branislav ‘Branko’ Brkic was awarded the country’s prestigious Nat Nakasa Award, recognised for initiating the investigative collaboration after receiving the hard drive that included the email tranche.\r\n\r\nIn 2021, co-founder and CEO Styli Charalambous also received the award.\r\n\r\nDaily Maverick covers the latest political and news developments in South Africa with breaking news updates, analysis, opinions and more.",

You would think that these numerous losses in the courts, as well as being booed, mass protests and mounting calls to step down, would eventually break the President’s obstinacy. But Zuma remains impervious. “I am not leaving the office right now,” he casually told journalists at the World Economic Forum in Durban this week. Zuma’s resilience is related to how the ANC failed to hold him accountable and his ability to manipulate and manoeuvre behind the scenes. </p>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div style=\"line-height: inherit; margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 20px;\">\r\n<div style=\"line-height: 20px; font-size: 1px;\"> </div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div style=\"line-height: inherit; margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 20px;\">\r\n<div style=\"display: block; font-size: 1px; line-height: 1px; background-\"> </div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div style=\"line-height: inherit; margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 20px;\">\r\n<div style=\"line-height: 20px; font-size: 1px;\"> </div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div class=\"layout two-col fixed-width\" style=\"max-width: 600px; width: calc(28000% - 173000px); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px auto; min-width: 320px; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-wrap: break-word; word-break: break-word;\">\r\n<div class=\"layout__inner\" style=\"line-height: inherit; border-collapse: collapse; display: table; width: 600px; background-color: #ffffff;\" emb-background->\r\n<div class=\"column\" style=\"display: table-cell; vertical-align: top; float: left; max-width: 320px; width: calc(12300px - 2000%); text-align: left; line-height: 21px; min-width: 300px;\">\r\n<div style=\"line-height: inherit; margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 20px; margin-top: 12px;\">\r\n<p class=\"size-26\" style=\"font-size: 26px; line-height: 32px; margin-bottom: 0px; \" lang=\"x-size-26\"><a class=\"aHeading\" style=\" line-height: inherit; \" href=\"http://subscriptions.touchbasepro.com/t/d-l-krdyhrt-l-p/\" target=\"_blank\">House passes Obamacare repeal</a></p>\r\n<div class=\"size-18\" style=\"font-size: 18px !important; line-height: 26px !important; margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px;\" lang=\"x-size-18\">\r\n<p>The House voted to repeal Obamacare by a single extra vote.

"description": "<p data-sourcepos=\"1:1-1:189\">Jacob <span class=\"citation-0 citation-end-0\">Zuma is a South African politician who served as the fourth president of South Africa from 2009 to 2018. He is also referred to by his initials JZ and clan name Msholozi.</span></p>\r\n<p data-sourcepos=\"3:1-3:202\">Zuma was born in Nkandla, South Africa, in 1942. He joined the African National Congress (ANC) in 1959 and became an anti-apartheid activist. He was imprisoned for 10 years for his political activities.</p>\r\n<p data-sourcepos=\"5:1-5:186\">After his release from prison, Zuma served in various government positions, including as deputy president of South Africa from 1999 to 2005. In 2007, he was elected president of the ANC.</p>\r\n<p data-sourcepos=\"7:1-7:346\">Zuma was elected president of South Africa in 2009. His presidency was marked by controversy, including allegations of corruption and mismanagement. He was also criticized for his close ties to the Gupta family, a wealthy Indian business family accused of using their influence to enrich themselves at the expense of the South African government.</p>\r\n<p data-sourcepos=\"9:1-9:177\">In 2018, Zuma resigned as president after facing mounting pressure from the ANC and the public. He was subsequently convicted of corruption and sentenced to 15 months in prison.</p>\r\n<p data-sourcepos=\"11:1-11:340\">Jacob Zuma is a controversial figure, but he is also a significant figure in South African history. He was the first president of South Africa to be born after apartheid, and he played a key role in the transition to democracy. However, his presidency was also marred by scandal and corruption, and he is ultimately remembered as a flawed leader.</p>\r\n<p data-sourcepos=\"11:1-11:340\">The African National Congress (ANC) is the oldest political party in South Africa and has been the ruling party since the first democratic elections in 1994.</p>",
