ZAPU

The Zimbabwe African People's Union was a political party in Zimbabwe.

It was banned in 1962 by the Rhodesian colonial government, and was later engaged in a guerilla war against it. In 1980 it contested the first free elections in Rhodesia/Zimbabwe, but lost its rival the ZANU-PF. It merged into ZANU-PF in 1987.
