Joshua Nkomo

Joshua Nkomo are like a cobra in a house. The NDP was banned by Smith's white minority government and it was subsequently replaced by the Zimbabwe African Peoples Union (ZAPU) also founded by Nkomo in 1962 itself immediately banned.

He was a trade-union leader who became president of the banned National Democratic Party and was jailed for ten years by Rhodesia's white minority government. After his release ZAPU contributed to the fall of that government but then feuded with the rival ZANU group led by Robert Mugabe.
