UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - African Union Chairman Jakaya Kikwete on Tuesday dismissed concerns that the ousting of South African President Thabo Mbeki could jeopardize a Zimbabwe power-sharing deal he helped negotiate.

"No cause for alarm, the South African government remains," and will continue to focus on the issue, Kikwete, who is president of Tanzania, told the U.N. General Assembly.
