CUTS 20 7 80 GENERAL PETER WALLS PRESS CONFERENCE

(20 Jul 1980) General Peter Walls, Commander of the Combined Operations Headquarters of the Military of Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) gives press conference on his forthcoming retirement. He clears up several issues that he has with the press reporting apparently incorrect stories involving the High Command team that he's been working with and the fact that he does not own property outside of Zimbabwe and that he's never taken part in any riotous factions in the army. In 1979, Joshua Nkomo's troops shot down a Viscount plane thinking that Walls was on board. All those on board were killed. In fact, Walls and his wife were on a plane that took of 15 minutes later. .

    @@markfulton4338 I though Colonel Dyke was involved in Mozambique, didn't know it's Peter Walls.... Kudos to Him what a stalwart 💪. I can imagine what could have come out if he took over Zipra after the "great betrayal". He was going to put a proper government in Zimbabwe.
