South Africans reacted on social media, following the sudden announcement that President Jacob Zuma would address the nation on Thursday morning, many saying they hope he resigns.
The president addressed the nation on the findings of the Seriti Commission of Inquiry into the controversial 1999 arms deal, with some South Africans expressing their disappointment.
Zuma to address the nation at 10am this morning. Please God!

#ArmsDeal What a waste of money and 4 years. We knew nothing would come of it. Finding was already made on 15 September 2011.

17 years, alleged bribery, wasteful, fruitless expenditure& R30-billion later, yet there is no wrong doing in terms of corruption #ArmsDeal
