RR7612/1 RHODESIAN REPORT (CUTS 2OF2)

(24 Mar 1976) After surviving more than eleven years of illegal
independence and UN-imposed sanctions, Rhodesia
is now facing what looks like its most serious crisis
yet. Guerrilla activity is increasing, talks between
white and black leaders appear to be at a standstill
and the economy is now being hit by Mozambique
president Samora Machel's decision to close his
borders to Rhodesian exports. This report back
grounds the issues.

    They show a one sided view to make their point. Many Rhodesians lived a middle class life. So typical. Well look at Zimbabwe now (they are no better off) and South Africa. How have their black leaders treated them. That is the truth and the reality.

    Just love the wet Teetshirt part. Yes sad to see how things have turned out,but us whites are partially to blame also. Why did I have to learn French or Germany at school, why not Shona or Ndebele. Why,when I grew up I played with black kids also yet when it came to schooling, they had to go to a different school to me. Why was it ok to to fight the war with blacks by my side, but they couldn't get the same ranking or attend the same training depots. Fuck man, us humans need a big wake up call......There will always be class segregation in every country in the world, but general segregation leads to hate and all sorts of other atrocities and we need to live with the sins of our fathers....I'm still a staunch 3rd generation Rhodie at heart, but we stuffed up in so many ways it's now almost irreversible. ...

    Peter, your honesty is refreshing. We certainly lived in segregated suburbs and went to segregated schools and hospitals etc. I loved the place and wanted Rhodesia to win the war but the idea that life north of the Limpopo was nothing like life south of Beitbridge is a fantasy.

    You have to see things in the context of the times. I can assure you that in the 60-s and 70-s blacks in America in most places were not better off than in Rhodesia. In the southern states no black person would dare to enter a restaurant or get on the bus unless explicitly permitted to do so. Projecting the moral standards of 2019 back to 1970 is a basic mistake (that even trained historians make.)

    @@NorceCodine Black people have fought battles just to be recognized as equals with other nations. The battle still goes on until some whites in the position of power wakes up and gain wisdom. Otherwise the battle for an African peoples wherever they are in the world, have to keep on battling. It is a very strenuous life for me. Even if one was born in a free country politically, where one's skin color doesn't count, but you will still meet the true nature of being black in the world once you travel to other countries. I was born and raised in a free Zambia. I grew up looking at humans as humans regardless of their skin color. But that changed soon enough. In 1986 I came across a word racial discrimination in South Africa. 🤔🤔what does this mean? I had to seek help from my dictionary just to understand the word "discrimination" My first experience of this racial discrimination was when we visited Zimbabwe on vacation in 1987. Zim was politically free, but that segregation based on one's skin color was still bad. We went to Masvingo. At lakekyle we were not saved the dinner regardless of ordering it. We saw white people come in after us, ordered food ate and leave. Our food was nowhere to be seen! 😕 what's going on here? My boyfriend at a time, husband now went into the kitchen to find out where our food was? Just to find our food had been prepared long time but not saved to us. He got the food we ate it and went off without paying. We refused to pay for cold food which was not saved to us. We were camping. The next day after visiting Zimbabwe Ruins, we were hot and wanted a swim. So many white people with their children were swimming. But once we went in, they all left the pool!! Then I became interested! I wanted to know what was happening? My boyfriend explained to me about racial issues going on in Zimbabwe. I was shocked! I understood why Zimbabweans blacks had to fight. Who introduced such evil spirits if not Satan himself? Victims are both black and white peoples! Especially whites are really the ones who are completely deranged by this lie that they are only better humans while the rest especially Africans are only good for serving whites. The person who indoctrinated people in this way, we should all find him, kill and never give him a burial! Even the earth is not worth of him. Satan is the one no one else!! He has used wicked man to pollute the beautiful world.
