Rhodesia (1964)
Kariba in Rhodesia, Africa.
Several shots of the huge dam at Kariba; the man-made lake that floods the bushland and forest; people fish from a boat, surrounded by treetops sticking out of the water. Two men look through binoculars on a patrol boat at a game reserve. Buffalo and antelope drink at the lakeside; zebras and monkeys are seen.
At Livingstone near the Victoria Falls we see a specially built 'native village' - a tourist attraction to show visitors what was there before the new dam flooded the tribesmen's land. The 'villagers' are seen carving wooden ornaments, drying clothes, forging buffalo spears, storing grain, making drums. Native dances and rituals are seen, involving strange costumes (one looks like a giant wood louse).
At the Wankie National Park we see various wildlife shots: a herd of bison are herded off into new territory by two wardens in a Land Rover; elephants drink at a man-made water hole; some tourists in an open-top camper van stand to look at some giraffes, a pride of lions eating their kill. Elephants, antelope, zebras and giraffes all gather to drink at a lake. A warden throws a chunk of wood at an elephant that is getting a little too close to the parked camper van.
Various shots of electric pylons at the Kariba dam; the interior of the generating station; a man at the controls. L/Ss of the dam.
Note: print used for telecine transfer is quite badly scratched; neg is cut.

RHODESIA ❤❤❤
Our Wildlife are our pride and joy. As a Zimbabwean ( foremely Rhodesian ), I am beyong honoured to have been born here in this beautiful country to serve, help, care for and protect our amazing wildlife. I thank God for this every day.
As a Zimbabwean of British stock ( formerly known as a Rhodesian ), I take the middle path. Rhodesia was the best governed and well-run nation in Africa, let alone the world. I deeply regret that we treated the Africans unfairly. We should have made our government a multiracial one with equal freedoms for all races. However, apart from that, Rhodesians are generally a courageous, chivalrous, kind, generous and respectful people. Raised on good manners, good morals and traditional virtues and values. We cared for and respected our wildlife which is why they are still thriving today. Our wildlife are our pride and joy. Rhodesia defied the corrupt Western governments by managing to thrive for 15 years with a good, courageous leader and a good government that actually served others instead of themselves. No one went hungry.
I wonder how many of those people survived the war.

How do other people claim to have discovered a land where other people lived and owned already.
