Abstract
THERE IS NO doubt that the author's role as representative and member of the Zimbabwe African People's Union for many years shrouds the vision of events in Southern Rhodesia presented in this article. Though seeing but darkly as if through a mirror, living at a secure distance of 10,000 miles away from a colonial Rhodesian prison does allow for the claim of a little detachment in observation. The changing roles of the players in the Rhodesian drama remind one of the famous asides of the American politician, Sam Rayburn. Speaker Rayburn caused concern among his fellow Texan Congressmen for appearing to support civil rights laws. In his own defence, he is reported to have retorted that he would abide by only one principle in politics, from which he would never budge. A politician must have certain principles, he protested. His principle was to change with the times.
