On the March 3, 1978, Abel Muzorewa, Ndabaningi Sithole and other non-exiled leaders signed an agreement at Governors Lodge, Salisbury, which paved the way for the interim government, the leadership of which was an Executive Council made up of Muzorewa, Sithole and Chief Jeremiah Chirau, along with Ian Smith.
Muzorewa was persuaded to accept fresh elections, to be held in early 1980.
Muzorewa stood against Mugabe in the presidential election of 1995, but was resoundingly defeated.

 MUZOREWA, Abel Tendekayi, Zimbabwe, Methodist
Bishop Abel Tendekayi Muzorewa, Methodist bishop and nationalist leader, was prime minister of the coalition government called Zimbabwe Rhodesia, which failed in its attempt to create a biracial government to end the civil war in formerly white-controlled Rhodesia.
Muzorewa is a man without cunning or political guile, which was both his appeal during the 1970s and the reason for his failure.
Muzorewa became prime minister when his ANC carried the elections and the country's name was changed to Zimbabwe Rhodesia.

A moderate who rejected violence, Muzorewa took part in the 1978 Executive Council government with the white prime minister Ian Smith and after the elections of 1979 replaced Smith as prime minister.
Muzorewa, however, was defeated (1980) in the British-supervised elections that resulted in political independence for a fl-ruled Zimbabwe.
During much of 1983 and 1984, Muzorewa, as head of the opposition United African National Council, was held without trial for allegedly subversive activities.

While these elections were described by the Rhodesian government as non-racial and democratic, they did not include the two prominent political parties within the African nationalist liberation movement, ZANU and ZAPU.
Bishop Muzorewa's government and the country's new name Zimbabwe Rhodesia did not receive international recognition.
The international community recognised that the resolution of the war in Rhodesia must include Mugabe's ZANU and Nkomo's ZAPU in order to be successful because these two were critical factors in the armed conflict.

 Zimbabwe (country)
This was followed by discussions with them and Bishop Abel Muzorewa, president of the African National Council (the ANC, which had been formed in 1971 to oppose the earlier independence arrangements), with the aim of setting up a national conference to work out a new constitution.
Following the Victoria Falls conference, the rift between ZANU and ZAPU supporters within the ANC intensified, the former under Sithole, supported by Muzorewa, insisting that military struggle was the only solution to majority African rule in Rhodesia, and ZAPU, under Nkomo, urging a continuation of the constitutional talks.
Eventually Nkomo was excluded from the ANC Zimbabwe Liberation Council, based in Zambia; establishing himself in Salisbury (Harare), he became chairman of the inside-Rhodesia branch of the ANC, much to the anger of the other factions.

Revolutionaries led by Joshua Nkomo and Robert Mugabe were waging guerrilla warfare, "with the explicit goal," as WFB puts it, "of frustrating the national plebiscite and creating an all-fl Marxist-oriented state." So why aren‘t Americans rallying behind the moderates?
