...Council, notably Bishop Abel Muzorewa and the Rev. Ndabaningi Sithole, who had joined the interim government last March. Nkomo was acting without the support of his colleague, Mugabe. And Zambian President Kenneth Kaunda was hosting the meeting without the express approval of his fellow "frontline" Presidents (Julius Nyerere of Tanzania, Samora Machel of Mozambique, Agostinho Neto of Angola and Seretse Khama of Botswana), with whom he has been jointly seeking a Rhodesian settlement...
