Thatcher signals final approach to Rhodesia solution
British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher told the Commonwealth Conference that after the meeting she will pursue what is hoped to be the final approach to a solution in Zimbabwe Rhodesia. She warned the white minority cannot block change as an African majority governs Parliament with an African president and prime minister. Tanzanian President Julius Nyerere urged cease-fire, new constitution, and elections with a Commonwealth fund to buy out whites who cannot live under black rule, while allowing limited parliamentary seats for minorities. He warned against cosmetic changes and emphasized genuine majority rule without minority control of key state organs.
