Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa and Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari also sent messages to Biden via Twitter.
The United States and Zimbabwe have had thorny relations since the days of former President Robert Mugabe and his then-US counterpart George Bush.
“On behalf of all Zimbabweans, congratulations to President-elect @Joe Biden on his election victory,” Mnangagwa tweeted.
“Zimbabwe wishes you every success in leading the American people. I look forward to working with you to increase cooperation between our two nations. “
Buhari said Biden had a remarkable track record, which gave him hope that he will add value to world affairs.
“I urge Mr. Biden to deploy his vast experience in monitoring the negative consequences of nationalist politics in world affairs, which have created divisions and uncertainties, and to introduce greater engagement with Africa based on mutual respect and shared interests. Buhari tweeted.
A video clip of young Biden criticizing the South African apartheid government during the 1980s also began circulating on social media after his election.
