Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe won an endorsement from his fellow Southern African leaders to head the main political bloc in the region, an affirmation of his victory in last year’s disputed elections.
Mugabe, 90, was named as chairman of the 15-nation Southern African Development Community yesterday as leaders gathered for a two-day summit in the Zimbabwean resort town of Victoria Falls. He is also in line to lead the 54-nation African Union from 2015.
