RR7904/2 RHODESIA: MOVING TOWARDS ZIMBABWE CUTS 2 OF 2

(24 Jan 1979) Rhodesia's multi-racial transitional government is going ahead with its plans for majority rule: a referendum on January 30th 1979 for the white electorate, to approve or reject a new constitution, and then one-man-one-vote elections on April 20th. For the whites, Premier Smith has forced concessions from the internal black leaders, including a guarantee of 28 white seats in a new 100-seat parliament, and a strong voice in the Cabinet; and also continued white control for at least five years in the judiciary, civil service, police and defence forces. Main dangers for the plans are a lack of international recognition for the new state; black Africans deserting the internal leaders for the externally-based Patriotic Front; and a continuance of the guerrilla war.
