The Jacob Zuma Foundation is a foundation created by former South African President, Jacob Zuma.

Following Zuma's arrest and imprisonment for contempt of court, the foundation has made a number of public statements in his support. These have ranged from denouncing Zuma's sentence, [1] justifying violent protests, which caused 342 deaths [2] during the 2021 South African unrest, [3] to issuing statements expressing concern for Zuma's health during his imprisonment.
