WHEN was Abel Muzorewa consecrated the first black African Methodist Bishop of Rhodesia?
As always, the settlers underestimated the resolve of the indigenous majority, and tried to fudge the situation by creating a puppet black government led by Bishop Abel Muzorewa as a way of pre-empting a real social change, in line with the French adage that "for things to be the same, they must appear to be changing".
Ian Smith and the legitimate black leaders of Rhodesia accomplished that in 1979 in multi-racial elections that brought a black majority government to power under a former Nkomo/Mugabe comrade, Bishop Abel Muzorewa, who had renounced violence to work for peaceful change.
