Government of Zimbabwe-Rhodesia

Government of Zimbabwe-Rhodesia

The Government of Zimbabwe-Rhodesia took office on June 1, 1979 under the internal settlement negotiated between the government of Rhodesia and moderate African nationalists. It ruled the internationally unrecognized country until, under the terms of the Lancaster House Agreement, control was turned over to Lord Soames as Governor on December 12, 1979.

The government attempted to include all parties represented in the House of Assembly following the general election, although the Zimbabwe African National Union of Rev Ndabaningi Sithole initially refused to take up their seats.
