Black forum called off
CX’ Z.P A.-Reuter) SALISBURY. Rhodesia's African National Council has called off a planned congress which had been expected to produce a major shake-up in the Black, nationalist leadership. Bishop Abel Muzorewa,! A.N.C. president, said the congress, due to take place next week-end, had been post-, ponded indefinitely “owing to I serious administrative and other extreme difficulties.” The congress would have been the first since the rival Rhodesian Nationalist groups Z.A.N.U. (Zimbabwe African National Union) and Z.A.P.U. (Zimbabwe African People’s Union) wrere officially merged under the A.N.C. umbrella last December. Mounting bitterness between Z.A.N.U. and Z.A.P.U. factions has threatened to wreck any semblance of Black nationalist unity in negotiating with the Salisbury Government over the future of white rule in Rhodesia.
