Thanks. Very good attempt at the coloured history but there are some statements that are just not true and need to be explained. The Cape Coloureds who came through were skilled artisans and teachers and nurses who taught in schools and hospitals for coloured people. Alot of coloured people also went for training to Cape Town for teaching training and nursing school and universities. There are stories, if you would interview some of these families, that speaks of coloured children from black mother's and white fathers who were taken away by the government and sent to institutions/ orphanages run by the Catholic nuns, in Bulawayo i.e. Bushtik for babies and young children under apalling conditions. The infamous Embakwe, a boarding school in Plumtree. My own grandfather was a carpenter from the Cape working for a South African company called E.W. Tarry. He picked up his wife in Kimberley and settled in Shabani. They had 3 young children aged 7, 4 and 2. His wife died, so he married another lady with 2 children from Kimberley purely because he wanted someone who would continue to grow his children in the cultural and traditions and customs of our family.. They had a child together. My grandfather fell over and died of the Great Influenza Pandemic in 1914. He stopped outside his front door after work with his donkey drawn cart and just slumped over and died in the drivers seat. My Father who was 4 years old witnessed this and related this story to me... he remembers seeing loads of bodies piled up on the back of donkey carts, they had died from the influenza pandemic. Because his second wife could not afford to raise 6 children on her own the 3 step children were handed over to the government who found homes who were willing to take them in, the term he used is they were each "indentured" to separate people which is a bond servant where you have shelter and food as long as you work for them for no wages. He was separated from his siblings ~ and he worked in the kitchen in the home of a judge. He was a kitchen boy assisting the black cook who used to beat him up until at the age of 7 he ran away. Every one has a story about their ancestors and how they came to be Zimbabwean ~ I would not see things as Blacks, Whites, Coloureds and Indians. Everything has cohesion and we all needed each other at some point in our lives. There's a sense that privilege was a given but let me tell you many people had to fight for things like being recognised as worthy subjects of the land with as much guts and intelligence to be able to get the job done. All our lives we've strived to be all we were able to aspire to so I don't agree with the notion that we were all entitled and privileged as a people group. Our community integrated with all people groups very well and were not a bunch of "drunken, dagga smoking fighters" as is often projected by uninformed biased judgemental people - stereotyping! You have to know our history and understand how we pulled together inspite of our varied differences and how we've overcome the visible and invisible barriers set up by regimes both old and new. We are true passionate patriots who love our country and it's time you accepted us and embraced our people who are just as much a part of the land as your early settlers from the North and South. No country is of one kind, type or colour of people... there should be NO divisions as the colonialists established ... it's time those racial tags are abolished and re-educate people to see and understand and see us as one people who hold true to the same dreams and desires for our lives, for the future of our families. No one is going to make it happen unless we hold hands across the divisions and reunite as one people. ✊ A luta Continua ✊ Together WE Are Stronger !!!

Thank you all for sharing your stories. I had the fortune of going to school with several Coloured students at Saint John's High in Harare, many of whom became friends of mine. The coloured community was discriminated against by the Rhodesian government and has been woefully neglected by Zanu pf since 1980. Their history is not taught, so most Zimbabweans do not know their struggle. As black Zimbabweans we should recognize that coloureds are both African and part of the country whether they are the products of mixed relationships or came from the Cape. The only sad thing is that many do not know Shona or Ndebele because they were never taught as children. I only came to this realization after moving to America and seeing how united the black people are here. Here there is no division between black and 'mixed' people because everyone knows they are one because the history of racism and segregation. We Zimbabweans must work to do better.

Coloureds (Afrikaans: Kleurlinge or Bruinmense, lit. 'Brown people') are a multiracial ethnic group native to Southern Africa who have ancestry from more than one of the various populations inhabiting the region, including Khoisan, Bantu, European, Austronesian, South Asian, or East Asian. Because of the combination of ethnicities, different families and individuals within a family may have a variety of different physical features.

@Sean Emzeey whatever it's routes are it doesn't have the same meaning as it originally did. Zimbabwean coloureds embrace their colouredness and wouldn't want to be called anything else. Meaning change through history. That's why black Americans call themselves n*gger and even women call themselves b*itches. They've taken those horrible names out of their original meanings and changed them and embraced them. So if what you're saying about coloureds is true, then the meaning has clearly changed too

I think coloured is not appropriate no matter how hard certain communities try their best to embrace the term. Here in UK, I often find my fellow people who associated themselves with the term struggling with this. I think at times, when in Zim, there is an assumption that this is closer to being white. Here if your blood has black in it, you are black. I think as a people, it is a high time we see each other as equal rather that some communities assuming that being a % white gives them that leverage. It is only when one travels abroad that they realise that they gotta embrace their dual heritage. Me included.

The children in that photo were ALL from settled, second generation mixed-race families in Zambia. I'm not in anyway disputing any of your other information or sources, it's just that including this photo, which is of children from a different generation in a different country may call into question the credibility of the information and your sources.

For the generations that were born and raised during the Rhodesian times it's either because the coloureds were taken away from their parents and placed into these so called orphanages some people have come up with theories suggesting it was to brain wash them and place them in jobs and sectors that the whites did not want black people to be in but the whites did not want to carry out these jobs and to reduce the interaction between the coloureds and blacks they were then confined to certain areas. A lot of documentation was either destroyed or falsified if it was indeed carried out at all. Remember that one of the tactics of colonisation is divide to conquer. I grew up with a white father and black mother I remember having a coloured friend who's grandfather told us about how he grew up in orphanages and he did not know anything about his mother and father and all records of him got lost his birth certificate did not have a mother or father's name on it but it did have a date of birth on it

It is important to understand that there will always be obstacles in life. What you should not do is box them and name them and give life to them. For example I can never be president because I am coloured. This will only make you feel hopeless you can imagine since the block has been established. Rather take on life with a different approach. Know that there will always be obstacles but they do not prohibit flow they just delay. Obstacles can be overcome. With obstacles you also get advantages and rather use your advantage as a spring instead of your obstacles as a crutch. Only with determination can you push through in ever success story every person has had to face adversities and the success is just sweeter because of them.

True, coloureds to this day are left out scholarships they barely given infact everything they are left out. I have many coloured relatives nd I sympathise with them, if God Blessed me with wealth I would surely help them nd even in further education etc.

@@tombimashri8149The majority of Coloured people know how to look after themselves. They succeed in life and live well. They dont hide from who they are, why should they? And, they consider themselves a 4th (mixed) race, the "coloured people". I identify as Coloured. Just like in any race, those who complain are just covering up drug/alcohol dependence, laziness or other issues which they refuse to or are not yet ready to tackle and move on to prosperity. I must thank the British Government for providing for the Coloured people, for giving us a very good education in private schools, and more than a fair chance at success in life. I live aboard so I dont know what its like now, for Coloured people, under the Zim Government. Thank you Zim Tech Guy for your quality videos.

its sort of tragic that they are put in this akward spot

People should live free no rules can prevent the real situation on the ground white people like us black love has no baudaries

You just told the story according to colonials. Do your research please

African and black African?

Coloureds were not allowed to vo to white schools coloureds had their own coloured schools nd whites school was white only until ZIMBABWE came, all nations were open to attend schools of their choice. Zimbabwe was like RSA where segregation was forced, Blacks coloureds, white arears even coloureds were not allowed into Hotels Restaurants etc, i hosputals there were seperste section for whites Blacks, coloureds. We all had to do as we were told by thexthan ruling government. Coloureds have never been given nor allowed choice than and Now if you ask me they are everyone s football. Same with housing, houses nd arears were build with same segregation arears for Coloureds, Blacks, whites. Many coloureds were smart nd intelligent but were never given grants or scholarships to study abroad why? Even sports acting, singing athletics but never allowed to excell further. Coloureds were really cheated in life to this day it continues. Coloureds going to the Army was forced they fid not choose to do it, As soon as they completed school they had to do 3year army service before finding a job. It was mandatory no army training no one was allowed to give you a job. X GOD FOR LATE MR NKOMO WHO UNDERSTOOD THEIR PLIGHT ND WOULD INSTRUCT HIS SOLDIERS NOT TO KILL COLOUREDS THEY ARE OUR VAZUKURUS ND they are in bush by force md not by choice. Infact I beleive if Mr Nkomo had become president Coloureds would v been treated better. He knew Coloureds are born victims. I never 4get that. God Rest his soul.

Victims? they literally hated blacks, just like their white ancestors. They lived in segregated suburbs in town. Blacks working for whites lived in ghettos without electricity. Is that fair?

Are you kidding? Comparing a wrong with another wrong is pure ignorance. How distasteful and inhumane to think in such a way

What happened in Rhodesia before independence cannot be blamed on whites only. Although I agree that mistakes were made, it was Englands laws and constitution that had a problem. I grew up with Africans in the 60's and never saw hatred. It was all about standards and ability to Govern. Before 1950 the whole world had this same problem of mixed races but this all changed. In 1965 the constitution changed to encompass all races. I fought with and were friends with blacks and coloured of all coloursed in fact there were more Africans in the police and army than whites and we were a proud mixed people : MUGABE turned race agaisnt race and look at the country today. Some facts: Rhodesian Democracy and the 1965 Independence Constitution Rhodesia has a written Constitution designed to uphold the democratic rights of all her peoples, and it ensures that the franchise shall be open to members of all races on equal terms. The 1961 Constitution, upon which the 1965 Independence Constitution was based, was accepted by a referendum after a conference where all races and all political parties were represented. The conference was convened by the Rhodesia Government, and the delegates met in Salisbury under the chairmanship of the then British Secretary of State for Commonwealth Affairs, Mr. Duncan Sandys. The primary object of the conference was to find a way of opening up genuine participation in the government of the country to all races while at the same time maintaining standards. To this end, the conference rejected universal suffrage, but recommended a system whereby anybody, regardless of race, who could conform to certain minimal standards, was entitled to a vote.* The voting qualifications laid down were standard for all people, regardless of race. This was the system in relation to the main common roll, designated as the “A” roll. For the benefit of those who might not yet be able to produce the necessary qualifications for the “A” roll (although there was and is nothing to stop anybody in his or her own time acquiring these qualifications by self-improvement) a further development was the creation of a “B” roll with somewhat easier qualifications. The position today is that people of any race may qualify for either roll. The “A” roll covers the country’s 50 normal constituencies. The “B” roll covers 15 specially created electoral districts (for all practical purposes, 15 very large constituencies into which the whole country has been geographically divided). Still further development in all this was a system of “cross influences” between the two voting rolls (either way, the results on one roll being influenced by the results on the other) intended to curb racialism in political contests. SAFEGUARD FOR ALL RHODESIANS Both the Declaration of Rights and the Constitutional Council are designed to safeguard the legitimate interests of all Rhodesians. The Declaration of Rights assures the fundamental rights and freedoms of every person in Rhodesia whatever his race, tribe, place of origin, political opinion, colour or creed, to: (a) life, liberty, security of person, the enjoyment of property, and the protection of the law; (b) freedom of conscience, of expression, and of assembly and association; and (c) respect for his private and family life. If any person alleges that any of the provisions of the Declaration are being contravened in relation to him, he may apply to the Appellate Division of the High Court for redress. If the case is regarded as a proper and suitable test case, the costs may be charged against revenue. In terms of the 1961 Constitution (overwhelmingly accepted by the electorate in a referendum in 1962) and also of the 1965 Independence Constitution: No one is barred from the vote by reason of race: Any registered voter, regardless of race, may stand for Parliament; Measures to thwart racially discriminatory legislation are part of the law. The Constitutional Council is headed by a Chairman who has long been a judge of specified Superior Courts, or is a retired advocate or attorney of the High Court of Rhodesia of not less than 15 years’ standing. The 11 elected members must include at least two Europeans, two Africans, one Asian, one person of the Coloured community and two persons who are either advocates or attorneys of the High Court of Rhodesia of not less than 10 years’ standing. The present Council has a minority of Europeans. Members are elected at three-yearly intervals by an electoral college composed of persons of high standing in the country, including the President of the Council of Chiefs. The Constitutional Council must consider every Bill presented to the Legislative Assembly, and if the Council considers that any provision of the Bill would be inconsistent with the Declaration of Rights, it submits to the Officer Administering the Government an adverse report. The Constitution may be amended by a two-thirds majority in Parliament. The Declaration of Rights is one of the specially entrenched sections, which requires a two-thirds affirmative vote and, at a subsequent sitting, a two-thirds affirmative vote for the address which must be presented to the Officer Administering the Government for assent. .  Following a long tradition, at the Opening of Parliament the government and opposition members enter the chamber in pairs, led by the Prime Minister, The Hon ID Smith and the Leader of the Opposition, Mr JM Gondo. . THE FRANCHISE The franchise in Rhodesia confers “equality” upon all who acquire the necessary standards, regardless of their race. The standards for the franchise are closely correlated with standards in other spheres; and they are essential to the continuance of the civilization which prospers all Rhodesia’s inhabitants. Meanwhile the Government continues to strain its resources in raising the educational and economic levels of the Africans, to enable them to play a fuller part. Those who are excluded from the vote are excluded solely by virtue of fact that they have not demonstrated the necessary merit or ability. There is no special privilege reserved to the Europeans or any other section of the population. The franchise is for voters of all races registered on one of two rolls and extends to all citizens aged 21 years or over, resident in the country for more than two years, subject to certain property, income or educational qualifications. Of the Legislative Assembly of 65 members, 50 are elected to represent constituencies by the more highly qualified voters of the “A” roll, whilst 15, representing electoral districts, are elected by the voters with lower qualifications on the “B” roll. Both constituencies and electoral districts cover the entire country and the decision as to which roll a person qualifies for, or stands for Parliament on, is in no way dependent on race. The practical effect of the new franchise is to give a “B” roll vote to a large number of people, mainly Africans, who did not qualify at all under the old single-roll system. (Nothing prevents anyone with the necessary qualifications from enrolling as “A” roll voters.) Each member of the electorate can cast two votes, one for his choice of candidate in the constituency, and one for his choice in the overlapping electoral district in which he lives. By a system of cross-voting the “A” roll voters can influence the result of a “B” roll contest, and vice versa. This is designed to broaden the appeal of candidates to voters on both rolls. “A” Roll (a) Income of £792 or ownership of property of value of £1,650; or (b) Income of £528 or ownership of property of value of £1,100 and completion of a course ‘of primary education; or (c) Income of £330 or ownership of property of value of £550 and four years’ secondary education; or (d) Appointment to the office of Chief or Headman. “B” Roll (a) Income of £264 or ownership of property of the value of £495; or (b) Income of £132 or ownership of property of the value of £275 and two years’ secondary education; or (c) Over 30 years of age and income of £132 or ownership of property of value of £275 and primary education; or (d) Over 30 years of age and income of £198 or ownership of property of value of £385; or (e) Kraal heads with a following of 20 or more heads of families; or (f) Ministers of religion. Provision is made for a person paying for property by instalments to qualify for the “B” roll. A married woman is deemed to have the same means qualifications as her husband if she does not qualify in her own right. (This applies to one wife only - a necessary provision as polygamy is still practised by many Africans.) She has, of course, also to fulfil the other appropriate qualifications herself. An African newspaper has stated that had African nationalists taken advantage of the franchise opportunities available, they would today have been the official opposition party in Parliament. Under the Constitution, the Africans will attain “majority rule” just as soon as they demonstrate their fitness. by qualifying for the vote in sufficient numbers. There is no legal impediment to a Rhodesian of any race becoming Prime Minister, Member of Parliament, Judge of the High Court, Head of a Government Department or practising in any profession. Attainment of these positions is purely a question of merit and qualifications. Opportunities for advancement in all spheres are available to all races.

All i have to say is you are wasting your time you will have great success doing that in South Africa not Zimbabwe if it was possible Mugabe was supposed to be your first victim instead everything went south when he married Grace for your plan come on she is a big rascist reminds me of Hitler wife.
