March 1, 1982

The Zimbabwe African People's Union party of Joshua Nkomo has decided to remain in Zimbabwe's government despite Mr. Nkomo's expulsion from the cabinet last week.

The minority party's 150-member Central Committee decided that its three remaining representatives in the 28-member cabinet should keep their posts despite what one delegate called ''this humiliation'' by Prime Minister Robert Mugabe.
