RR8046A ZIMBABWE TRIBALISM AND THE TEKERE TRIAL
(14 Nov 1980) RR8046A ZIMBABWE TRIBALISM AND THE TEKERE TRIAL
Background to Story: The trial in Zimbabwe of Government Minister of Manpower
Development, Edgar Tekere, has focused attention on major problems faced by the
newly independent state. Mr Tekere and seven of his bodyguards were accused of
murdering an elderly White farmer, and so Zimbabwe's White minority wanted
reassurance at the trial that their lives and property do have official
protection. The case also brought to light evidence of continuing rivalry between
the Zipra forces of Mr Nkomo, and the Zanla forces of Mr Mugabe, which led to the
fight for independence. During the trial there occurred the most serious outbreak
of fighting between the rival groups at a barracks outside Bulawayo. It reflects

Zimbabwe Deal for Unity Government is Dead
Talks in Zimbabwe aimed at salvaging a power-sharing deal between the country's main political parties have been stalled for weeks. The framework agreement calls for President Robert Mugabe's ZANU-PF party to share power with the main opposition, The Movement for Democratic Change, and its leader Morgan Tsvangirai.

STORYLINE:
The ruling party in Zimbabwe ZANU-PF, expelled one of its co-founders, veteran politician Edgar Tekere, for insulting President Robert Mugabe in a recently published autobiography, the state Sunday Mail reported.
A meeting of party leaders in Tekere's home district of Manicaland, eastern Zimbabwe, "unreservedly condemned" Tekere's book, A Lifetime of Struggle which was launched in Harare in January, and selling briskly, according to the newspaper, a government mouthpiece.
It quoted the provincial Zimbabwe African Nation Union Patriotic (ZANU-PF) chairman as saying the autobiography "clearly and explicitly denigrates and vilifies" Mugabe.
He said provincial leaders would not consider an appeal by Tekere.
The book has become a local best seller as Mugabe's popularity plummets amid the nation's worst political and economic crisis since independence.
"Most of the people they are hunting for it or looking for it" one bookseller in the capital Harare said on Thursday.
Tekere, 69, a former ruling party secretary general and long seen as a political maverick, left the party a decade ago to form a short-lived opposition group he called the Zimbabwe Unity Movement.
He said he founded that party to oppose corruption in Mugabe's government.
Last year he was granted readmission on condition he took no ruling party office for five years.
One political analyst said Tekere's expulsion was more likely to damage ZANU-PF than Tekere.
"It is actually more of the ruling party which might lose credibility because people are beginning to see that even personal issues, personal differences, with the president can lead to you being expelled from the party," Semeri Dzinotyewi said.
At a meeting on Thursday to discuss his book Tekere attacked the government.
"The government is the most rotten thing, so thoroughly corrupt," he said.
He said Mugabe did not favour the split, contrary to official ruling party history that Mugabe led the schism.
Mugabe himself dismissed the autobiography as the work of an unbalanced mind.
