The 75-year-old leader had to step down after the pressure from the South African ruling party African National Congress (ANC).

On Monday, the ANC's party meeting was held on the question of the resignation of Juma. In the meeting, Juma was given a 48-hour ultimatum for resignation. The party warned that if he did not resign, he would face the opposition's unpredictable vote Thursday.

After the massive corruption allegations against Zuma, who were in power since 2009, the pressure of resignation was on her rise. He was under tremendous pressure within his own party ANC. Meanwhile, in December last year, Vice President Cyril Ramphosa took over as the head of the party.

Police inspector Jupiter Mitra conducted searches in Gupturbari in Johannesburg on Wednesday. In the wake of pressure on Jumaar to resign, Gupta's house was searched in the house. In a statement after the search in the house of Gupta's family in the morning, police said that three people have been arrested so far.

The main allegation against Juma, he hid the state money. The traders have the opportunity to break the nose in politics. Especially in Jupiter 'Ashakara', a well-known businessman named 'Gupta Parivar', a progeny of family, is interfering in politics politically. Critics say, the politician or corporate businessman, who is now running the South African country, the question has grown bigger.

In 1993, three brothers of Saharanpur in Uttar Pradesh, Ajay Gupta, Atul Gupta and Rajesh alias Tony Gupta started business in South Africa in 1993. In 2013, the family's closest relationship with the country's ruling politicians came to the fore.

After the announcement of the resignation of Juma, the ANC said in a statement that the life of South African people is a matter of skepticism.

The deputy secretary-general of the party, Jesse Duarte, told reporters, "Juma will be an important member of the ANC. I am grateful to his contribution for the team. '

Vice President Cyril Ramphosa is expected to now be the president.

The ANC said yesterday that when Zuma has stepped down as president, the parliament will elect the country's new president as soon as possible.
