The Geneva Conference (28 October – 14 December 1976) took place in Geneva, Switzerland during the Rhodesian Bush War.
 Held under British mediation, its participants were the unrecognised government of Rhodesia, led by Ian Smith, and a number of rival Rhodesian black nationalist parties: the African National Council, led by Bishop Abel Muzorewa; the Front for the Liberation of Zimbabwe, led by James Chikerema; and a joint "Patriotic Front" made up of Robert Mugabe's Zimbabwe African National Union and the Zimbabwe African People's Union led by Joshua Nkomo.

The Victoria Falls Conference took place on 26 August 1975 aboard a South African Railways train halfway across the Victoria Falls Bridge on the border between the unrecognised state of Rhodesia (today Zimbabwe) and Zambia.
 It was the culmination of the "détente" policy introduced and championed by B. J. Vorster, the Prime Minister of South Africa, which was then under apartheid and was attempting to improve its relations with the Frontline States to Rhodesia's north, west and east by helping to produce a settlement in Rhodesia.

 Vorster and the Zambian President Kenneth Kaunda acted as mediators in the conference, which was held on the border in an attempt to provide a venue both sides would accept as neutral.

 He was born in 1935 and died on 19 December 2015 in Harare.
 He was of the Shava totem from Mutekedza Chieftainship in Chikomba.
 He was the eldest son of James Ushe Shoniwa, and could have taken over as Chief Mutekedza had it not been for his desire not to associate with his roots.
 He identified as a person of Mixed Race or as a Coloured.
 His brother Herbert said he did this for economic and legal reasons when he entered the City of Salisbury (now Harare) looking for economic opportunities.
 That time, white colonialists favoured people of Mixed Race compared to blacks.
 He was enterprising and is known for starting an engineering company, Trinity Engineering which during the early years of independence had lucrative government contracts.
 One such contract involved assembling military vehicles, notably the Puma trucks.
 He is known for having married 3 wives.
 the first one is said to have been of Indian origin and they seared 5 children in the town of Gweru.
 The second whom he married in 1977 under the old Chapter 37 (now Chapter 5:11) was black like him and she was called Manana.
 With Manana, they never had any child.
 The third one was Jane aka Lizzie, and they seared 5 children and Jane also had 6 children from a previous marriage.
 When he died of heart attack and kidney complications in Zimbabwe on December 19 December 2015, he was declared a National Hero by the Mugabe government and was ultimately buried at the National Heroes Acre.
 Although he did not fight in the war of liberation, Zvavahera was declared a national hero for challenging the European Union (EU) in court.
 He sued the EU for €6 million damages for imposing sanctions on himself and the Zanu PF leadership but his application was dismissed by the EU General Court.
 He himself was on the sanctions list and was denied entry in the UK in 2007.
 He exhausted his personal fortune in the war against EU, but lost the case.

 He also asked to go with Mugabe to Venezuela to present his case but despite promises, Hugo Chavez, who was then Venezuelan President, died without offering financial support.
 The government the paid the legal costs.
 During his funeral, the family was divided.
 Jane was recognised by the government as the wife and she participated with her children in the funeral wake.
 The official funeral was organised from Rocky Lodge in Strathaven in Harare.
 Manana was not recognised and together with other relatives of Guy who trouped from Chivhu, they gathered in Highlands at his other house for the funeral.
 they complained to government and threatened to boycott the national shrine event.
 They claim to have been instructed by CIOs (Zimbabwe Intelligence) to attend the funeral to which they did.
 His rural family complained that the government did not follow traditional values.
 For example they did not recognise the wife they know, Manana.
 They also did not take his body to the rural village.
 Further the government did not consult the rural family and allowed a daughter of 31 years named as Tina (of Mixed Race) to speak at the national shrine ahead of family elders including his 55 year old black son named Tony.
During the Rhodesian Bush War, informational and political warfare was mounted by each of the involved factions: on one side, the Rhodesian government (led by Prime Minister Ian Smith of the Rhodesian Front); on another, the British government and the Commonwealth of Nations; on a third, the Zimbabwe African National Union (ZANU) and its associated guerrilla army, the Zimbabwe African National Liberation Army (ZANLA); and, on a fourth, the Zimbabwe African People's Union (ZAPU) and its armed wing, the Zimbabwe People's Revolutionary Army (ZIPRA).
The Front for the Liberation of Zimbabwe (FROLIZI) was an African nationalist organisation established in opposition to the white minority government of Rhodesia.
 It was announced in Lusaka, Zambia in October 1971 as a merger of the two principal African nationalist factions in Rhodesia, the Zimbabwe African People's Union (ZAPU) and the Zimbabwe African National Union (ZANU).
 However, it was in fact a breakaway faction of both ZAPU and ZANU, established by members of both groups who had become disaffected due to their rival organisations' incessant internal and external disputes.
 Its domination by members of the Zezuru, a subgroup of the Shona people, led to accusations that it was merely a tribal grouping and ridicule as the "Front for the Liaison of Zezuru Intellectuals".
General elections were held in March 1990.
 In July the government lifted the 25-year-old state of emergency.
 Zimbabwe became a republic on 17 April 1991.
 In November 1992 the first cases of a cholera epidemic were reported from within the Tongogara Refugee Camp in Manicaland.

 The combined Zimbabwe Defense Forces Headquarters was formed in July 1994.
 In April 1995 parliamentary elections were held.

Gandanga is a Shona language term used in Southern Africa to refer to Patriotic Front insurgents serving with the Zimbabwe African National Liberation Army (ZANLA) or the Zimbabwe People's Revolutionary Army (ZIPRA) during the Rhodesian Bush War.
 It is a particularly common expression among the Zezuru people of Zimbabwe.
 The word "Gandanga" simply means "rebel", a reference to guerrillas who waged unconventional warfare against the Rhodesian Security Forces in the 1970s.
 It has since come to denote a new form of pop culture in Zimbabwe, especially in the form of "Gandanga Music" - "Rebel Music", as hyped by Bob Marley when he performed at a Zimbabwean independence ceremony held at Rufaro Stadium.

The 1981 Entumbane uprising, also known as the Battle of Bulawayo or Entumbane II, occurred between 8 and 12 February 1981 in and around Bulawayo, Zimbabwe amid political tensions in the newly independent state.
 Zimbabwe People's Revolutionary Army (ZIPRA) guerrillas, mainly in the city's western suburb of Entumbane, rebelled, creating a situation that threatened to develop into a fresh civil war, barely a year after the end of the Bush War.
 The Rhodesian African Rifles (RAR) and other white-commanded elements of the former Rhodesian Security Forces, fighting for the Zimbabwean government as part of the new Zimbabwe National Army, put down the uprising.
 Groups of Zimbabwe African National Liberation Army (ZANLA) fighters attacked both ZIPRA and the government forces during the revolt, which followed a smaller outbreak of fighting between guerrillas in November 1980.
