Abstract: 

An essay is presented which discusses the social conditions of the Rhodesian political activist detainees involved in Zimbabwe's national liberation movement from the early 1960s through 1979. Particular focus is given to the political prisoners' political activity while held in detention camps, which putatively resulted from Rhodesian authorities' failure to socially isolate the detainees. The Zimbabwe African People’s Union (ZAPU) leader Joshua Nkomo is discussed.
