South African diplomat and doctor Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma (L) shakes hands with the out-going African Union Commission chairman Jean Ping (C) at the (AU) leaders meeting in Ethiopia's capital Addis Ababa, July 16, 2012. Dlamini-Zuma was elected on Sunday to become the first female head of the African Union Commission, ending a bruising leadership battle that had threatened to divide the organisation. Dlamini-Zuma, South Africa's home affairs minister and an ex-wife of President Jacob Zuma, defeated incumbent Ping of Gabon, who had been at the helm of the Commission, the AU's steering body, since 2008.
