ZAPU (Zimbabwe African People's Union) A Zimbabwean political party founded in 1961 under
Nkomo's leadership. Banned in 1964, it established its headquarters in neighbouring Zambia, from where it also launched an increasing number of guerrilla attacks through its military wing, the ZIPRA (Zimbabwe Independent People's Revolutionary Army). In 1976 it formed the
Popular Front with its rival,
Mugabe's ZANU. ZAPU's base among the minority Matabele people meant that it was only able to obtain twenty (out of eighty) seats in the 1980 general election. It proceeded to govern as a junior partner of ZANU, but from 1982 became increasingly marginalized. The friction caused much unrest, but was overcome in December 1987 when it merged with ZANU to form ZANU-PF.
