No love lost: A coup at South Africa palace

It didn’t matter that it was Valentine’s Day, the love that had propelled him fizzled out [Gammzo, Standard] 

After nearly nine years in power, the on-again, off-again once popular president of the Republic of South Africa finally bid adieu to the presidency of a nation on its knees – politically, economically and socially.

Unlike many of the webs he found himself in during his presidency, the music finally stopped mid-move for Jacob Zuma. Whatever jingle he tried after the band stopped playing never worked, and instead of the applaud he got at the infancy of his term, his wit, charm and moves drew yawns and sneers from a public and establishment bent on ejecting him from Pretoria.
