He is currently in his second term which ends on December 31st, 2006. He was initially elected by the UN General Assembly in 1997 to replace the Egyptian, Boutros-Boutros Ghali and serve out Africa's second term of office (traditionally, the SG serves two terms and each continent or region gets a crack at those two terms). His second term is technically a third consecutive term for Africa, but was recommended by the Security Council. The General Assembly approved it by acclamation.<br>

And, yes, he does seem to have been there forever.<br>
