Joshua Nkomo died approximately two years ago - shortly thereafter Mugabe launched his thugs on the farmers and the opposition. I think Nkomo tempered the worst of Mugabe the best he could while he was alive.
Zapu was co-opted by ZANU within a few years after the 1980 elections. It was taken into government, then dissolved into the "one party state". This is why MDC and Tsvangirai will NOT be fooled into a government of national unity.
