That fear was apparently shared by Muzorewa and Nationalist Leader Joshua Nkomo; they have ordered bulletproof Mercedes-Benz sedans for their campaign appearances and travel under heavy security guard. One noteworthy fact about the violence is that all the victims are black; not one white-owned farm has been attacked since the ceasefire...
