When Mandela took over as president of South Africa in 1994, the country’s economy was emerging from a long recession.

In 2008, Mbeki’s presidency came to an end when the ANC recalled him, paving the way for the ascension of his successor, Jacob Zuma, after the 2009 national and provincial elections.
Zuma’s years in office unleashed what many see as a significant turning point in South Africa’s democratic history.
Allegations of state capture and corruption dogged the Zuma presidency, particularly centred around his relationship with three businessmen called the Gupta brothers.
