The 1980 Entumbane clashes, also known as Entumbane I, occurred in and around Bulawayo, Zimbabwe between 9 and 10 November 1980, amid political tensions in the months immediately following Zimbabwean independence. Official government figures counted 58 dead (15 combatants and 43 civilians) and over 500 wounded, but eyewitness accounts describe a death toll running into the hundreds. The conflict was followed four months later by the larger 1981 Entumbane Uprising, also known as Entumbane II, which nearly developed into a new civil war.

  • The 1980 Entumbane clashes, also known as Entumbane I, occurred in and around Bulawayo, Zimbabwe between 9 and 10 November 1980, amid political tensions in the months immediately following Zimbabwean independence. Fighting broke out in the city's western suburb of Entumbane between groups of guerrillas from the Zimbabwe African National Liberation Army (ZANLA) and others from the Zimbabwe People's Revolutionary Army (ZIPRA), days after the two factions were put into coterminous assembly camps there to await integration into the new Zimbabwe National Army. A four-hour firefight, precipitated by a speech by government minister Enos Nkala threatening that ZANLA would ultimately destroy ZIPRA, ended when the largely white-led , numbering over 280 men from Echo Troop, Juliet Troop, Hotel Troop, Charlie Troop and Lima Troop, intervened on behalf of the government. (The Rhodesian African Rifles at that time were confined to barracks due to disagreements about integration into the new Zimbabwean National Army. They were officially on "reaction standby".) Officers from both guerrilla forces then called for a ceasefire. Official government figures counted 58 dead (15 combatants and 43 civilians) and over 500 wounded, but eyewitness accounts describe a death toll running into the hundreds. The conflict was followed four months later by the larger 1981 Entumbane Uprising, also known as Entumbane II, which nearly developed into a new civil war. (en)

Os combates estouraram no subúrbio ocidental da cidade, em Entumbane, entre grupos de guerrilheiros do (Zimbabwe African National Liberation Army, ZANLA) e outros do (Zimbabwe People's Revolutionary Army, ZIPRA), dias depois das duas facções terem sido colocadas em acampamentos contíguos para aguardar a integração no novo . O confronto armado, precipitado por um discurso do ministro do governo ameaçando que o ZANLA acabaria por destruir o ZIPRA, terminou quando oficiais de ambas as forças de guerrilha pediram um cessar-fogo. Os números oficiais do governo contaram 58 mortos (15 combatentes e 43 civis) e mais de 500 feridos, mas relatos de testemunhas oculares descrevem um número de mortos na casa das centenas.
