Johannesburg - South Africa’s ruling ANC said on Monday that it was pleased with the appointment of its chairperson Baleka Mbete to the African Union's African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM) Panel of Eminent Persons.
“The appointment of such an experienced leader and skilled internationalist augurs well for South Africa's ongoing effort to strengthen the work of the African Union and its organs with a view to bolster Africa's role in global issues,” said ANC Chief Whip Mathole Motshekga in a statement.
Motshekga said he was confident that the former deputy president of the country would do well in her post.
“Through her vast expertise and depth in politics... the institutional work of promoting high standards of governance for Africa's development will be enhanced,” he said.
Mbete was unanimously appointed by the APRM, on the margins of the African Union meeting currently under way in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
“This reaffirms the confidence our sister countries have in the important role our country plays in the continental's multilateral forums,” said Motshekga.
The APRM is an African-initiated instrument that undertakes periodic peer reviews of participating African countries to strengthen and improve political, social and economic governance. - Sapa

She is useless and that is why she is acceptable to the AU leaders for the peer review mechanism.
