Front for the Liberation of Zimbabwe

The Front for the Liberation of Zimbabwe (FROLIZI) was an African nationalist organisation established in opposition to the white minority government of Rhodesia.

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.

[2] The organisation declared its support for national unity in its draft constitution and excoriated the divisions of ZANU and ZAPU, which had undermined their effectiveness in combating the Rhodesian regime.

The formation today of FROLIZI puts an end to this sordid and self-destructive state of affairs.

While FROLIZI did not manage to establish a presence in Rhodesia, it sought to ally with African National Council.
