- Nkomo, Joshua (Mqabuko Nyongolo)
-
died July 1, 1999, Harare, Zimb.
Zimbabwean (formerly Rhodesian) black nationalist.
Nkomo helped lead the guerrilla war against white rule in Rhodesia, but his forces played a less important role than those of Robert Mugabe. As leader of the Zimbabwe African People's Union (ZAPU), he became Mugabe's longtime rival. They participated in a coalition government in 1980–82, but Nkomo was removed following a breach between them. ZAPU and Mugabe's Zimbabwe African National Union (ZANU) merged in 1987 to form ZANU–Patriotic Front, and Nkomo became a vice president in Mugabe's government in 1990.
