@mininghistory I promise this is my last contribution to JSAS. Not until 2035

@fire_man00 Lotti, you must give others a chance to publish. Your previous JSAS article was less than a year ago.

As we continue to explore the relationship between the party-state and society in Zimbabwe, this is our new JSAS offering. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

A good first day. Presented @global_soldiers research on the politics of MK & FAPLA militaries, on a panel with @ZelenovaDaria @hallowellbe @JMcGregor_Jo. Scouted talent for @JSAS_Editors articles. Great to see @groveszr, @RoseofAcademe & @GewaldJan & to meet @fire_man00

South Africa gained domestic support for its stance by portraying Mugabe as a radical Marxist. Britain, worried that Pretoria’s stance would only further radicalise Zimbabwe & damage UK interests in the country, put pressure on South Africa to reconsider. 3/4

Where others have concentrated on the military aspect of the relationship, Nkomo shows how South Africa tried to exploit Zimbabwe’s economic reliance on its trade & transportation networks & infrastructure to assert its power & force Zimbabwe to abandon its hostile stance. 2/4

Lotti Nkomo’s @fire_man00 new JSAS article uses newly available archive material to examine the tense relations between #SouthAfrica & newly independent #Zimbabwe, which cut diplomatic ties in 1980 in protest at #apartheid & the occupation of #Namibia. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10… 1/4
