Description

Rhodesian black leader, Bishop Abel Muzorewa, comments on the shooting by police of thirteen black Africans in the country’s capital Salisbury (01/06/75). He claims these men were unarmed and gave no cause to be shot; if the killing and harassment continues, a guerilla war may break out.
