Should be counting any minute...

The task of the Commonwealth Monitoring Force from 28th December, 1979 was to keep the peace during the ceasefire leading up to the March 1980 elections in Rhodesia/Zimbabwe. By March 4 Robert Mugabe was the leader of the new African nation.

He became the first Prime Minister of Zimbabwe, still within the Commonwealth of Nations.
