Salisbury - Rhodesia (1971)
Salisbury, Zimbabwe
Sign - 'Radio City' camera pans down to show various radios for sale. Back to school shop. Good general shots of Salisbury, shops, traffic, modern buildings, street scenes, skyscraper blocks, modern flats and apartments, statue of Rhodes, British and non-British goods in shops. Various shots of African youngsters hanging around in the streets, seemingly with little to do, no white people are seen in these shots. (16mm. E/C Neg.)
Note: Zimbabwe formerly known as Rhodesia now calls its capital Harare, instead of Salisbury, as it was known at the time of this film being shot.

Goodnight, sweet prince.
While ancient Rhodesia was a major exporter of agricultural products, 80% of the food needed today is imported. The brutal eviction of white farmers - Appaling crimes even on white Children- and their staff by the arsonist gangs activated by the Mugabe regime led to the displacement and misery of tens of thousands of agricultural workers.
I went to school in Salisbury, Rhodesia and everything was available and orderly. Then the comrades came and everything is history.

As a black Zimbabwean. The country was way better under Smith. Thats just the harsh reality.
Ian Smith was right all along.
Are there more videos of South Rhodesia
😂 things were TERRIBLE back in the 1960s with all that running water and electricity and air conditioning and fully stocked grocery store shelves and paved streets and regular garbage pick up and women walking safely down the street but now you’ve got all that communism so how’s that working out for you zimmmmmbawbwayyy? 😂
God Bless Rhodesians, they lost so much...
Please educate me…. Why did people chose to get rid of British ruling when they managed to establish such a beautiful country It looks better than Poland looked is 60s I have been to Zimbabwe on 2019, it is so poor and so run down Gosh…

Because the terrorist were funded by the Russians and Chinese to end Rhodesia, and Rhodesia made a declaration of independence because they didn't agree to British terms of a black run country. whites were paid more but the parliament did make efforts to desegregate later in the 70s. It is complete BS since the black majority didn't have the same skills in the government as the whites which justified Ian Smiths government for a time.

By the brainwashed commies, who thought Communism, would work even tho it failed everytime they tried it.
Memories of the town where I grew up. It will never be the same after Mugabe. A beautiful place gone to hell.
I'm American and was told by a White Zimbabwean that it's all our fault?
Back then, blacks were living in the suburbs there were black millionaires and now because of moooogahbee everybody is suddenly a trillionaire 😂
All these comments about how “great” the country looked back then…..very unfortunate. At its peak the white population in Zimbabwe was about 4.4%. But this video would have you believe it’s like 90% white. Which means the prosperity evident in this video was obtained at the expense of overwhelming majority of the native people who were probably starving to death. These aren’t images to be proud of. They are an example of how affluent a small group of oppressive minority can be while majority live in poverty.
