Joshua Nkomo
Joshua Mqabuko Nyongolo Nkomo (7 June 1917 – 1 July 1999) was a Zimbabwean revolutionary and socialist politician who served as Vice-President of Zimbabwe under Robert Mugabe from 1990 until his death in 1999. He founded and led the Zimbabwe African People's Union (ZAPU) from 1961 until, after an internal military crackdown (known as Gukurahundi) in western Zimbabwe, mostly targeting ethnic Ndebele ZAPU supporters, ZAPU merged in 1987 with Robert Mugabe's Zimbabwe African National Union (ZANU) to form ZANU–PF. He was a leading trade union leader, who progressed on to become president of the banned National Democratic Party, and was jailed for ten years by Rhodesia's white minority government.
