Patriotic Front (Zimbabwe)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Patriotic Front in Zimbabwe was a coalition of two African Leadership parties: the Zimbabwe African Peoples Union (ZAPU)[1] and the Zimbabwe African National Union (ZANU)[2] which had worked together to fight against white minority rule in Rhodesia.
In the 1980 elections, ZAPU contested as the Patriotic Front, whereas ZANU contested as the ZANU-Patriotic Front.[3]
In 1988 the ruling ZANU absorbed ZAPU to become Zimbabwe African National Union – Patriotic Front (ZANU-PF).[4]
