This true story tells how for six years they led both dissident parties by their noses in a bewildering dance of death and destruction, successfully leading each to believe the other was responsible for their woes. They blew up, machine gunned and rocketed ZIPRA’s Lusaka HQ four times and ZANLA’s Lusaka HQ twice. To stir Zambia’s disenchantment with hosting the dissidents they bombed both the Central Post Office and the Times of Zambia’s and blasted an imperial stone lion off its plinth at the High Court leaving obvious clues behind them. When President Nyerere of Tanzania openly criticised Joshua Nkomo, they bombed his Lusaka Embassy ‘in retaliation’. In March 1975 they eliminated ZANU’s Chairman, Herbert Chitepo with a car bomb. Certain his death was caused by internal divisions, President Kaunda arrested its top leaders and kicked the organisation out of Zambia — this halted the war in Rhodesia for more than a year. In 1976 Brice killed ZAPU’s number two man, Jason Moyo, with a parcel bomb.
