    What a time it was. Rhodesia and it's hero's will always be remembered for their bravery under fire and the sacrifices they had to make to defend their homes. They stood on their own on against the entire world and for fifteen years they fought the good fight, God bless them.

    I’m among very few Americans who know what Rhodesia is! I happen to be a Prime Minister Ian Smith fan. He peacefully fought the Bush War until health forced him to emigrate for South Africa. He stayed in Zimbabwe until he was 86 in 2005. Sadly, he passed away at 88 in 2007. I admire him for stubbornly staying in Zimbabwe! He was a thorn on Mugabe’s side. God Bless PM Smith!!

    Agreed 100% … Thanks to the interference of Britain and American governments they ruined a beautiful country, both black and white Rhodesian’s lived in peace and harmony mostly till 1980 ! Now look at the state of things , the corruption and irresponsible government and management of Zimbabwe has destroyed a beautiful productive economy and created divisions in the communities , but the people of the country are still a good people and have suffered greatly under the Zimbabwe run governments .

    @@ayodejiolowokere1076 Africans were necessarily included because there were very few Europeans, but their prospects for advancement were capped by Smith's "Never in a Thousand Years" policies. There was never any significant threat from the local civilian population to Europeans, even though there was resentment from the better educated. It required a spell of exile, African Nationalist education, and training and weaponry from outside to escalate the situation to bloodshed - bloodshed which could have been headed off by earlier concessions.

    @@ayodejiolowokere1076 Yes, the country was functionally segregated, but not in the same legalistic way as South Africa. Rhodesia did not have slavery at any point. Though it is worth pointing out that Nyassalanders sometimes called working in Southern Rhodesia's early mines "chibaro", which was the same word they used for Arab slavery. See: "Chibaro: African Mine Labour in Southern Rhodesia, 1900-1933" by Charles van Onselen.

    I had a friend who had to go to Salisbury just after the communist takeover and she could not get near the government building to do her business. The stench was horrifying. She couldn’t figure out what it was. She thought it was dead bodies rotting in the sun She put a handkerchief over her face and tried to breathe through her mouth it turns out the locals had taken over the government building and loaded it with chickens They brought their chickens with them, and you can imagine the chickens shitting on the lawn and the smell in the hot sun, but that’s the mentality of the locals
