The Republican Front was a political partyinZimbabwe in the 1980s, led by Ian Smith as the continuation of the Rhodesian Front. The name change came on 6 June 1981 as an attempt to distance itself from its policies of the past.[1]
On 23 July 1984 it was renamed the Conservative Alliance of Zimbabwe. At that time the party, which had started with an all-white membership, tried to appeal to black members, as well as black voters who wished to oppose the policies of the Robert Mugabe government.[2][3]
