VIDEO: "ANC should never be divided in my name" - South Africa's President Jacob Zuma resigns

This is the moment South Africa's President Jacob Zuma finally resigns after days of defying orders from the ruling African National Congress (ANC) to leave office.

Zuma delivered a statement at the government's Union Buildings in Pretoria on Wednesday saying he would resign 'with immediate effect' in response to the ruling party's order to quit. 

“The ANC should never be divided in my name.

I therefore come to the decision to resign as president of the republic with immediate effect,” Zuma said.
