Thabo Mbeki – South Africa
The former president of South Africa agreed to step down after the country’s ruling party formally requested his resignation over allegations that he misused his power. He is currently the Chairperson of the AU High-Level Implementation Panel for Sudan, which has the task of facilitating the end of the conflict in the Republic of Sudan. The 76-year-old also heads the AU-UN High-Level Delegation on Illicit Financial Outflows from Africa. Mr Mbeki has before this facilitated peace negotiations in various African countries, including Lesotho, Zimbabwe, Burundi, Comoros, Cote d’Ivoire and the Democratic Republic of Congo. He established the Thabo Mbeki Foundation in 2010, of which he is the Patron. One of the Foundation’s flagship projects is the Thabo Mbeki African Leadership Institute(TMALI), a partnership with the University of South Africa. Mbeki is also the Chancellor of the University of South Africa (UNISA), a position to which he was inaugurated in February 2017.
