Toys for Tots - Marines donate
toys to local children
Members of the United States Marine Corps Detachment from the Embassy
in Harare, provided some Christmas spirit to a group of Tafara children
on the 23rd of December. An annual worldwide tradition, Marines
stationed around the world carry out "Toys for Tots", distributing toys
and treats to underprivileged children. The gifts, collected by members
of the American community in Zimbabwe in the weeks leading up to
Christmas, were given to the orphans at a church in Tafara. "

In
1997 the government is accused of misusing funds intended for veterans
of the independence struggle. The government agrees to large benefits
for war veterans. New taxes to finance these cause strikes and
demonstrations. Morgan Tsvangirai, a trade union leader, is attacked in
his office by unknown assailants. Mr Mugabe announces an acceleration
of the land resettlement programme, saying private white farmers will
not be fully compensated, and suggesting the UK assist them. A list of
more than 1,000 targeted properties is published in November 1997.

After
elections the new State of Zimbabwe becomes legally independent in
1980. Robert Mugabe becomes prime minister of a coalition government,
with Rev. Canaan Banana in the largely ceremonial role of president.
Factional differences between the former guerrillas continue, with
tensions between Joshua Nkomo and Robert Mugabe. Unrest involving
Pro-Nkomo dissidents in Matabeleland prompts the deployment in 1983 and
1984 of thousands of government troops into the area, who are
subsequently accused of atrocities. The situation eventually improves
when Mr Mugabe and Mr Nkomo sign a unity agreement in 1988.

Joshua Nkomo and Robert Mugabe agree a joint position in the Patriotic
Front, which boycotts elections held under a new constitution in 1979.
Constitutional
Conference convened in Lancaster House, London, in 1979,
is attended by Patriotic Front leaders and eventually reaches agreement
on a new constitution, transitional arrangements and a ceasefire. A
British-appointed governor, Lord Soames, is given full authority for a
transitional period.
