Zim: Nkomo or Mugabe?

I would like to commend Bill Fletcher for his well articulated article on Zimbabwe [http://www.pambazuka.org/en/category/features/47437]. Quite enlightening. However, I would like to correct his wrong impression that Robert Mugabe was the main leader of the liberation movement in the then Southern Rhodesia. The reality is that the main leader was Joshua Nkomo and the decisive war was fought by his ZAPU party. Mugabe is in afct not a big name in the true and genuine liberation history of Zimbabwe. But he has a record of being a skillful chancer.
