Nkosazana Clarice Dlamini Zuma, South Africa

Ex-wife to the current President of South Africa Jacob Zuma, Nkosazana Clarice Dlamini Zuma is a powerful female politician who has served in different capacities since South Africa Apartheid was abolished in 1994. Under the late President Nelson Mandela, Nkosazana served as the minister for foreign affairs, a position she retained when President Thabo Mbeki took over power in 1999. She was then moved to the ministry of home affairs by her ex-husband President Zuma. Currently, the 67-year-old politician serves as the chair of the African Union Commission.
