Socialistisk Arbejderavis nr. 182, maj 00 – side 4

Socialistisk Arbejderavis nr. 13, okt 85 – side 6

Alex Callinicos + John Rogers: Southern Africa after Mugabe
International Socialism Journal nr. 9, jun 80 – side 1
Note: Wednesday, 27 February 1980 – the first day of the Zimbabwean general elections. At the main polling station in Salisbury’s Harare township, a huge queue of black voters awaited their turn impatiently. Walking along this winding line of people we were welcomed by a chorus of cock-crows and cries of ‘Jongwe!’ ‘Jongwe’ is the Shona for ‘cock’; this bird was the symbol of the Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front (ZANU-PF), the party which was to win a landslide victory in these elections
