 The Prime Minister was responsible for nominating the other members of the government , chairing meetings of the Rhodesian Cabinet , and deciding when to call a new general election for the House of Assembly .

The Zimbabwean government was headed by a Prime Minister from 1980 to 1987 , when that post was superseded by an executive presidency . The former Prime Minister , Robert Mugabe , became President ; as of 2015 he retains this post .

 Prime Minister Sabri al @-@ Asali resigned from his post on 6 September following the Ba 'ath Party 's withdrawal from the cabinet .

Afterward , Quwatli asked Rushdi al @-@ Kikhiya to form a cabinet , but the latter refused , citing that influence from the Syrian Army would deprive his government of real power .

 Western intelligence agencies believed that the revolution had been organised by communists supplied with weapons by the Warsaw Pact countries . This suspicion was strengthened by the appointment of Babu as Minister for External Affairs and Abdullah Kassim Hanga as Prime Minister , both known leftists with possible communist ties . Britain believed that these two were close associates of Oscar Kambona , the Foreign Affairs Minister of Tanganyika , and that former members of the Tanganyika Rifles had been made available to assist with the revolution . Some members of the Umma Party wore Cuban military fatigues and beards in the style of Fidel Castro , which was taken as an indication of Cuban support for the revolution . However this practice was started by those members who had staffed a ZNP branch office in Cuba and it became a common means of dress amongst opposition party members in the months leading up to the revolution . The new Zanzibar government 's recognition of the German Democratic Republic ( the first African government to do so ) , and of North Korea , was further evidence to the Western Powers that Zanzibar was aligning itself closely with the communist bloc . Just six days after the revolution the New York Times stated that Zanzibar was " on the verge of becoming the Cuba of Africa " , but on 26 January denied that there was active communist involvement . Zanzibar continued to receive support from communist countries and by February was known to be receiving advisers from USSR , East Germany and China . Cuba also lent its support with Che Guevara stating on 15 August that " Zanzibar is our friend and we gave them our small bit of assistance , our fraternal assistance , our revolutionary assistance at the moment when it was necessary " but denying there were Cuban troops present during the revolution . At the same time , western influence was diminishing and by July 1964 just one Briton , a dentist , remained in the employ of the Zanzibari government . It has been alleged that Israeli spymaster David Kimche was a backer of the revolution with Kimche in Zanzibar on the day of the Revolution .
