February 1962 - ZAPU New Party, Old Bosses Dr Parirenyatwa

February 1962 - ZAPU New Party, Old Bosses Dr Parirenyatwa, Deputy President of the new ZAPU. The Southern Rhodesia National Democratic Party was banned on a Saturday morning in December last year. Within eight days, on Sunday, December 17, the Zimbabwe African Peoples Union (ZAPU) was born! Long live ZAPU! cried ex-NDP followers in the African Townships. The enforcement of the new constitution against the will of the people, Dr Parirenyatwa said, is the surest method of inviting determined resistance from Africans. We shall organize intensively against the voters registration campaign which, by placing a few Africans on the lower roll and reserving the upper roll for Europeans, is meant to deceive the outside world into believing that the African now has a substantial share in the running of the country.
