About Byron Hove
Lived 1940 – 1999 (aged 58–59). Byron Hove was a politician.
Byron Reuben Mtonhodzi Hove (1940–1999) was a Zimbabwean politician who served as justice minister in Zimbabwe Rhodesia with Hilary Squires as co-minister, and subsequently in the post-independence Parliament of Zimbabwe. He supported and participated in Prime Minister Ian Smith's Internal Settlement. He later served as ZANU-PF MP for Gokwe until April 1986 when he lost his position for misdemeanors.
