The African Union (AU) is the successor of the Organisation of African Unity (OAU). The OAU was founded in 1963 to bring African nations together and resolve common issues through collective action. The organization’s primary missions were to increase political and economic integration among its member states and to eradicate all forms of colonialism from the African continent. In this conversation, we are examining the effectiveness of the AU and the challenges the body has faced, with some of the failures and shortcomings. Postdoctoral fellow at UJ, Dr. Siphumelele Duma and Political analyst Dr. Dikeledi Mokoena weigh in.
