Mozambique, a former Portuguese colony, was admitted in 1995 on the back of the triumphal re-admission of South Africa and Mozambique's first democratic elections, held in 1994. The move was supported by Mozambique's neighbours, all of whom were members of the Commonwealth and who wished to offer assistance in overcoming the losses incurred from the country's opposition to white minority regimes in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) and South Africa. In 1997, amid some discontent, Commonwealth Heads of Government agreed that Mozambique's admission should be seen as a special case and not set a precedent.

Keefer, Fiona gets thumbs down as Wales, Northern Ireland, etc are not 'members of the Commonwealth'. They are each *part* of a member of the Commonwealth, the UK. That's like saying Quebec or Gujarat is a member of the Commonwealth.

Mozambique I think. They were a Portuguese colony originally.
Why did Fiona get two thumbs down? She is quite right.The four countries of the UK were not British colonies. Well thought out Fiona. I gave you a thumbs up!! (damn I wish I had thought of it!)
