Jacob Zuma may have eventually stepped down as the country’s president but he still remains the most talked about citizen in the country.

As news broke of Msholozi’s decision to step down before having to face a motion of no confidence from his own party, the ANC, South Africans took to social media platform Twitter to weigh in on the matter.

Here are 10 of the most hilarious tweets on the matter from, among others, cartoonist Zapiro, radio personality Gareth Cliff and other South Africans.
