This was called "Cordon off and search" and became a fairly regular operation to keep us safe. Everyone was searched and handbags too before going into stores. This was after a supermarket was blown up by insurgent incendiary devices.

In many cases they were, along with some territorial reserves called "Dad's army". In one parade during a parade these elderly, but tough, men were marching down a street when a little boy excitedly shouted to his mom "look Mommy!, thers's Grandad!", as one man all the marching grey heads turned to the little voice.

@@finlaylewis9390 We Rhodesians were and will always be British. The US govt pressured the UK into stopping us. It was the global cabal who betrayed us.

I've forgotten some of those car's! The Datsun 120y was quite popular, we had nieghbours who had a glaring yellow station wagon. The Peugeot 404 was everywhere. That red & white car are 1:53 is similar to what my one golf-mad teacher had. Then there were the Renault's too like the one that looked like a slightly better version of the c2, & lots of 1950's & 60's British cars. Who remembers the strange little mini moke?

There were two, the bombed Woolworths store was in Kaguvi Street below the kopje. 6 August - The Salisbury Woolworths bombing. A 30 kg bomb exploded in a Woolworths store in Salisbury killing 11 people and wounding 76. The store on the corner of Pioneer Street, and Bank Street was also badly damaged. Eight of eleven deaths were blacks. New York Times 7th August 1977: "The general manager of Woolworth in Rhodesia, Robert Bonser, said: “I have no idea why this branch of the store was selected as a target, especially as it is largely frequented by blacks”. The white manager of the bombed store, which is locally owned and takes its name from the international chain, was among those injured." Note: Pioneer Street is today called "Kaguvi Street". ZANU was always choosing soft targets and they never cared about killing the African people they claimed to be liberating.

These were actually police reservists who conducted these searches which is why they look so old. I remember this I was there in the vicinity at the time.

We had a pistol and Uzi secured in our squad cars but I never had a reason in my years to use them. It was only when you entered "hot" areas that you carried a weapon with you. Virtually all the farmers were armed, women as well, as they generally were in the front line of any attack or ambush in the rural areas.

In Rhodesia blacks were often referred to as "bloody munts!" and "stupid kaffirs" and could not join regiments like the Rhodesian Light Infantry or the Rhodesian SAS because they were whites-only units. Consequently, for these and other reasons, including the segregated suburbs and segregated government schools, Rhodesians who say that Rhodesia had nothing in common with South Africa are being misleading. Some Rhodesians love to use South Africans as scapegoats.
