African Union has chosen South African
Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma as its leader, making
her the first woman to hold the post. Ms Dlamini-Zuma beat incumbent Jean Ping of
Gabon after a closely fought contest for the
chairmanship of the organisation. In January, neither got the required two-thirds
majority, leaving Mr Ping in office for another six
months. The dispute has overshadowed other issues,
especially security and trade. Voting had been broadly split along linguistic lines,
with English-speaking countries tending to support
Ms Dlamini-Zuma and French-speaking countries
lining up behind Mr Ping. Senior officials had warned that failure to resolve the
leadership deadlock would divide the AU and
undermine its credibility. Long-serving minister Ms Dlamini-Zuma, the former wife of South African
President Jacob Zuma, won the leadership of the
AU commission in a third round of voting. She got 37 votes at the 54-member body, giving her
the 60% majority she needed to be elected. The 63-year-old is currently South Africa's home
affairs minister, and has also had spells as minister
of health and of foreign affairs. She is one of her country's longest-serving
ministers. But critics said her candidacy had broken an
unwritten tradition that the chairmanship should not
be occupied by one of Africa's major nations. Earlier this week, Mr Ping denied a South African
media report speculating he was going to withdraw
from the race. His use of the AU's website and letterhead for his
statement prompted the southern African regional
bloc Sadc to accuse him of misusing AU resources
for his re-election bid. Ms Dlamini-Zuma's election came at a summit in
Addis Ababa, the organisation's home city. As in January, the official theme of the summit was
boosting intra-African trade. It is also due to focus on the continuing instability in
Mali, mounting violence in the eastern Democratic
Republic of Congo and tension between Sudan and
South Sudan.
