The new government of Zimbabwe Rhodesia has claimed some success for its policy of offering amnesty to guerrillas who defect from their bases in Zambia and Mozambique. Francis Zindoga, the Minister of Law and Order, claimed on Friday (15 June) when two surrendered guerrillas attended a news conference, that the trickle of those claiming amnesty could turn into a flood.

SYNOPSIS: The news conference was held at a military base in Fort Victoria. According to the police, Lovemore Katsande -- on the left -- was a security officer with Robert Mugabe's forces, and Maxwell takawengwa was a medical officer.
