The Super Zimbabwe African People's Union was a militant organization, made up of former members of the Zimbabwe People's Revolutionary Army (ZIPRA) and Rhodesian Security Forces, which operated in Zimbabwe in the 1980s. Super ZAPU members were believed to have been supported by South Africa's apartheid government as a proxy in Zimbabwe to undermine Prime Minister Robert Mugabe's new government.
Author Joseph Hanlon argues in Beggar Your Neighbours: Apartheid power in Southern Africa that Super ZAPU members were former ZIPRA fighters who fought on behalf of South Africa.
