United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Monday appointed Zimbabwean diplomat Raisedon Zenenga as Deputy Special Representative (Political) in the United Nations Mission in South Sudan.
A statement by Ban’s office said Zenenga had a diverse and substantial background in political processes and mediation, proven skills in managing peacekeeping operations, significant experience in working with government and other key stakeholders in conflict and post-conflict settings.
The Zimbabwean has over 28 years of UN, government and diplomatic experience, including more than 10 years at management level in complex peacekeeping operations.
“Zenenga has worked for the United Nations in some of the most challenging field missions, including those in Somalia, Liberia, Iraq-Kuwait and Sierra Leone,” Ban said.
As a senior manager at the UN headquarters for the last 10 years, Zenenga also supported the UN Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (UNOSOM) and the UN Operation in Cote d’Ivoire, among other peace operations.
Most recently, he was the director of the Africa Division II, Office of Operations, in the Department of Peacekeeping Operations.
Educated at the University of Zimbabwe, Zenenga holds degrees in Public administration and Political science.
He also received diplomatic training from the Australian Development Assistance Bureau.
