Notice biographique

This collection contains the audio-recordings and transcripts of twenty-six interviews conducted with ZAPU survivors and other individuals portrayed in the Zenzo Nkobi images in SAHA collection AL3265 as part of a SAHA oral history and research project into aspects of the armed struggle for Zimbabwean independence.

Central to this project are the 10 000 photographic negatives taken by Zenzo Nkobi, a Zimbabwean photographer with ties to Zimbabwe African People's Union (ZAPU) and contained in the Zenzo Nkobi Photographic collection (AL3265). Undertaken by SAHA in 2010/2011 the aim of this project was to source a more accurate and detailed analogy of events experienced by these individuals within ZAPU and ZPRA during that period, as well as their understanding of the role played by ZAPU in achieving independence in Zimbabwe.

These interviews explore various aspects of ZAPU's history from its early development to its administration and leadership, recruitment and training of military combatants (ZPRA), regional alliances, international solidarity and life in refugee camps. The interviews further provide an insight into post-independence politics in Zimbabwe.

Photographs of some of the interviewees and the project report, titled 'ZAPU through Zenzo Nkobi's Lens' form part of this collection.
