Editorial 1978: THE YEAR OF THE PEOPLE In his 1978 New Year message to the Zimbabwe Nation broadcast over radio Maputo on the 1st January, Comrade President Robert Mugabe said, in part, "Now that we have encompassed the whole country with our operations, the basic power to our revolutionary struggle must be vigorously and systematically cultivated. The basic power of any revolutionary armed struggle is the People. A struggle which enjoys the support of the struggling masses can never fail no matter how protracted it may be." Pointedly challenging the entire Zimbabwean nation, ZANU's helmsman went on: "Let us therefore, in every sense of the phrase make 1978 the People's Year, the year the broad masses have been totally and affectively mobilized in every village, district, province, city, town, mine or farm into supporting the war. The people are the best instrument for achieving true victory over the enemy." Comrade Mugabe's Presidential charge and challenge has been embraced by the Central Committee, the High Command, the General Staff and the entire family of ZANLA forces. Seizing on this theme, Comrade Tekere, ZANU's Secretary-General, and Comrade Josiah Magamha Tongogara, Secretary for Defence, stumped every ZANLA hide-out in all the three provinces of the war, recently, spreading and explaining to the forces the gravity and implications of Comrade President Mugabe's tiommand. It means, they told jubilant ZANLA rallies, that every fighter fit enough to carry his or her gun, must aim high this year. ZANLA must move into the Country in increased numbers. The ideal is to have everyone in ZANLA inside Zimbabwe at the earliest possible time. The Year of the People means that ZANLA must transform entirely and speedily into a People's Army. An army that protects the people, defends the people and engages in production with the people, among the people, throughout Zimbabwe. This transformation, already widely underway inside Zimbabwe, must be consolidated and extended until it encompasses, in the words of Comrade President Mugabe, "every village, district, province, city, town, mine or farm." The Year of the People must witness the spreading of ZANU's revolutionary culture: styles of work, modes of intercomrade relations, discipline, vigillance, unity, study of scientific socialism - the whole works. Without this solid base, there can be no new society in Zimbabwe. Already, vultures in the shape of Muzorewa, Sithole and Chirau are circling over the Zimbabwe skies, propelled by capitalist greed, wishing death to the seven million so they and their ilk can descend on the people like locusts and eat them. In the Year of the People, every ZANU member must be his or her comrade's keeper. As separate fingures we must each do what has to be done to vanguish our enemies and confound our adversaries. As a mailed fist, the separate fingures must come together, be welded in revolutionary unity to hold firm to the gains we have made on the ground and from there advance in unity to realize the dream of our forefathers -the Liberation of Zimbabwe. Enemies will abound in the Year of the People. Some among us will go astray - remembering the 'flesh-pots of Egypt' as the hazards of revolution, exceed the york of Ian Smith's slavery at home. Some will suddenly propound left wing-cum- right wing-cum tribalist adventurist theories. Let us beware of them all. There can be no shortcut to revolution. There can be no baby unless the mother will bear the pain. Comrade President Mugabe's Challenge is now with us.

  • Names, Currency, and Acronyms
    PLACE- NAMES, CURRENCY, AND ACRONYMS The convention of historical writing of the country this book is about is to include a list of place- names in the front matter, with Rhodesian names on one side and the Zimbabwean names on the other. I will not do that here. The country I write about had four names between 1960 and 1980; what these were and how they changed are discussed at the start of the first chap- ter. I avoid such lists because of my concerns about a notion of before- and- after in history: a list of place-n ames and their changes suggests a too pat transformation from colony to nation, from bad to good, from minority to majority rule. Such a list also suggests that transitions are instantaneous, that a threshold has been crossed. For the reco rd, however, Rhodesia be- came Southern Rhodesia from mid- December 1979 to April 1980, when it became Zimbabwe. Salisbury, the capital, became Harare only in 1982. More common and never part of any list has been the tendency to use “Rhodesian” to mean white and “Zimbabwean” to mean African. I have tried to avoid this as often as I could throughout this book. With the breakup of the Central African Federation, Rhodesia named its currency the pound (£). Cast out of the sterling zone shortly a fter the Unilateral Declaration of In de pen dence (udi), Rhodesia valued its pound at US$2. In 1970, Rhodesia adopted the dollar as its currency. It was de- signed to be valued at half a British pound and between 1970 and 1980 hovered at about US$1.50.

  • Bishop Knight-Bruce (1891–1894)
    CHAPTER ONE OCCUPYING THE GROUND: BISHOP KNIGHT-BRUCE (1891–1894) In 1891 the Church of the Province of South Africa (CPSA), a daughter church of the Church of England, expanded into Central Africa. A diocese was created by the Provincial Synod for an area north of the Diocese of Pretoria, which ended at the Limpopo River. This diocese, “for Mashonaland and the surrounding territories”,1 was one of the largest Anglican dioceses in the world. It was roughly the size of France, two-and-a-half times the size of Great Britain (see Map 1, p. xx). The central area of the original diocese is today divided into the fi ve dioceses of the Anglican Church in Zimbabwe (Harare, Matabeleland, Mutare, Central Zimbabwe and Masvingo). Mashonaland itself was little known to the outside world in 1891 and undefi ned, other than by its general topography and the distribu- tion within it of Shona-speaking peoples (‘the Mashona’). At its centre was a large, high plateau, well-wooded and watered. To the north, the land fell away to the Zambezi River; to the east, in the region of the Manyika people rose a mountainous barrier beyond which lay the colony of Portuguese East Africa. Much of the area was dominated by two peoples of Southern, Nguni, origin: the Gaza, in ‘Umzila’s country’ to the south-east;2 and the Ndebele (‘Matabele’), in the south-west (see Map 2, p. xxi). Ndebele territory (Matabeleland) was itself bordered to the south- west, across the Ramokwebana and Shashe Rivers, by territory known as ‘Khama’s country’: Khama was the leading chief of a number of native polities which had come under British infl uence, as the Bechuanaland Protectorate, in 1885.3 To the south-east of Matabeleland and south- west of Gazaland ran the Limpopo River, which served not only as an ecclesiastical boundary between the new Diocese of Mashonaland and 1 ‘The Bishop’s Letter: Resolutions: Section VII’, CMSA 6:64 (April 1891), xxxi.

When news of the find reached the diamond mining centre of Kimberley, reaction was mixed. Some entrepreneurs, particularly those bruised in the on-going fight to amalga- mate the diamond industry, made their way as fast as possible to the Rand. Others, with much less reason to gamble, like Cecil Rhodes, held back.

  • Washington Notes on Africa
    Edited By CHARLES HIGHTOWER WASHINGTON AMERICAN NOTES ON COMMITTEE ON AFRICA AFRICA Room 700, 711 14th St., NW Washington DC 20005 Vo 1. 11, no. 2 CABRAL IN WASHINGTON Amilcar Cabral, Secretary-General of the African Party for the Independence of Guinea and Cape Verde (PAIGC), was the opening witness before Rep. Charles Diggs' House sub­ committee on Africa on Feb. 26. Cabral, one of Africa's most prominent revolutionary leaders, opened his testimony with a personal salute to Chairman Diggs for his activity in presenting to Congress the vital questions concerning African liberation movements. "Our presence here today," he told Congressman Diggs, "is to salute you, and through you to salute that part of the American nation which supports our struggle ... " Concerning the seven year struggle for independence waged by the PAIGC in Guinea-Bissau, the revolutionary leader said: "We are not fighting the Portuguese people. We are fighting Portuguese colonial domination. We are fighting for our independence." Exhibiting photographs showing the effects on the people of Guinea of the napalm attacks made by the Portuguese, Cabral told the subcommittee it appears that the U.S. supports Portuguese colonialism, "because the weapons used against us come, in large part, from t.he U.S. through NATO." Some of the photos and film brought by Mr. Cabral showed captured napalm bombs with the inscription: property of the _U_._S_. A_i_r .::.F--,o;..;.:r.;...c.;;..e~. The liberation force, led by Amilcar Cabral, has won more than two-thirds of Guinea-Bissau, a country of 800~OO people sandwiched between Senegal and the Republic of Guinea.
