Despite his violent past--ten years in prison under Ian Smith's Rhodesia, six years of guerrilla warfare in which he fought with Joshua Nkomo almost as much as with Smith--he was acclaimed at his 1980 inauguration as the new breed of African leader who would bring white and black together, heal old wounds, and use the wealth of the country to bring education and job training to the masses. Not only are Zimbabwean whites not considered worthy of a political say because they were on the wrong side, even the Ndebele, the minority tribe that ran its own liberation movement under Joshua Nkomo, are considered heretics. Nkomo Harvard Business School Press, August 2001 $29. |
