From the article you linked:
“In 1965, when most remaining European colonies in Africa were obtaining independence under black majority rule, the tiny white minority in Southern Rhodesia broke away from Britain, forming a racist regime similar to that in neighbouring South Africa.
The declaration by Rhodesia’s white minority government led by Ian Smith was the first such action taken by a British colony since the American declaration of 1776.
It sparked a bloody liberation war from 1972, led by Mugabe and Joshua Nkomo, in which at least 27,000 died.
The war culminated in the country’s independence, negotiated under British auspices, in April 1980 and Southern Rhodesia was renamed Zimbabwe.
Canaan Banana became president.”
How appropriate, to inaugurate a new Banana Republic, with a President Banana.
