- Chris Morten reports on the decision made by black Rhodesian leader Bishop Abel Muzorewa to keep his party in the interim government after the firing of Byron Hove by Prime Minister Ian Smith. It looks at the party’s statement that its withdrawal would have collapsed the Salisbury agreement; its aim for majority rule; the Bishop’s claim he knew nothing of the dismissal; how the Bishop would not appear in public with the other leaders; the impact of the dismissal; how the credibility of the settlement will be questioned.
