    Congratulations to Mrs. Dlamini-Zuma on her appointment to head the AU Commission. This is a clear indication that we as Africans are moving forward with regards to gender equity and Women empowerment. Likewise, I extend my congratulations to the SADC region on electing it's first ever member to head the Commission.

    Damn south africa! They made the rule and they equally broke it.The leadership agreement forbids any Nigerian,Libyan,s.African,Ethiopian and other permanent member country from contesting.When have we ever seen the U.S or any other permanent member contesting for the U.N's help? I know S.A is applying a high level Bismarckian diplomacy to be dominant on the continent,but i bet you,as speculated,Nigeria will overshadow you.She'll equally contest next time
