In the videos below, a visibly young former South African president Jacob Zuma, has added his voice on the issues that compelled Zimbabwe’s freedom fighters to agree to “unfavourable” terms of the Lancaster House talks that preceded the independence of 1980.
Zuma claims that frontline states that have been harbouring Zimbabwean guerilla fighters said if the fighters intended to continue with the struggle, they were to fight from elsewhere as the host countries were suffering as a result of accommodating them.
