rhodesia has lot of mineral resources and the communists want it if they come in their ones will kill them isn their ones if they come by the dozens will kill them by the dozens in their hundreds will massarce them like wise rhodesia will never be ruled by black majority
"the mistake they made was not incorporating Africans into the mainstream of Rhodesian society"
It was not possible for 200,000 whites to expedite social development of 4 million blacks in a few short decades. They tried, though... through education and gradual inclusion. in 1974 there was as many black students in Salisbury university as white ones. If they only had another 10 years for these blacks to come into politics, they may have succeeded, but black nationalists did not let it happen
Oh, I don't know. How many men with rifles in their hands and words like "democracy" and "food" in their vocabularies would it take to get rid of Comrade Fucking Bob? I reckon a couple of hundred could do it. Mugabe has built a great big fucking fire under his fat arse and it won't take much of a spark to cook him.
What went wrong with England's rule over Africa (or rather Rhodesia specifically) was that they wouldn't grant Rhodesia independence. When it tried to declare itself independent, the resulting economic and diplomatic sanctions put it into such a state that the blacks were able to take over... and then things got worse.
I see that Rhodesia was a democratic country where people joined political parties based on their priorities in life. Be economic, education for their children, health and etc. I am a citizen of a country where all the political partiesrepresent and have members of all ethnic groups. In that regard, I can not see one ethnic group take over the government. As I said, same colour or ethnic group does not equal same political ideologies in democracy.
@WiggaMachiavelli Rhodesia actually prosepered under sanctions. It was an embarresment to Britain and the UN. So they supplied the gooks with weapons when economic sanctions didnt work. Supplying them with weapons didnt help either. Cause we comprehensively beat them in battle too! The only reason there is no more Rhodesia is because she was betrayed by the world politically. Who very slyly brought Mugabe to power. Lancaster House- 1979. Google it. Rhodesians Never Die!
@humanforotherhumans what happened, if you knew your history, is that Wilson, a long time friend of black nationalists, was in power in the United Kingdom, and Great Britain had to drop it's colonies after the WW2 to get financial aid from the United States. That is what happened....
@humanforotherhumans Which chance and time was that? Specifically where the resources to do so would come from would be most interesting to me. Considering the extreme economic sanctions at the state of the economy at the time.
@hornet329 South Africa also helped Rhodesia with the supply of military equipment. During my two years' National Service in the South African Defence Force, I was part of a unit which developed bridge demolition equipment, which we passed on to the Rhodesians for "operational testing" in Mozambique.
Ian Smith flew Hurricanes and Spitfires in WW2 and when he was shot down in Italy , he recovered and led Italian partisans against the Germans. He had more courage in his left ear-lobe than you will ever have - in this life and the next.
mr zingy who are you you halfwit? smithy got shot down, fought with the Italian partisans - ie the Italians who were on the Allies side, you bleeding moron - managed to get back to the Allied lines and got straight back in a plane! There is more courage in his fingertips than your entire body you weak pathetic loser!
@paulmcc80 ...Smithy was a scheming coward, who sent little white boys into the bush to take bulltets and land mines on his behalf whilst he was double dealing with Mugabe. Ian "Never in a thousand years" Smith was a sick and evil despot who would have sold out his own mother to save his own skin. Pity most Rhodies were too stupid to realise that their "great leader" was leading them down a path of self destruction!
Zimbabwe, what a mess!! World media crucified Ian Smith but he was a pussy cat compared with the butcher Mugabe. Even though Europeans built that country from nothing, the mistake they made was not incorporating Africans into the mainstream of Rhodesian society. A real tradgedy for all concerned. Mugabe and his gangsters are raping and destroying a once great nation.
@daltonagre Rhodesia did NOT lose the will to fight, she was BETRAYED by the South African President, John Vorster and America's Henry Kissinger. Oh yes, fro evidence of that fact, just look at how many 'friends' of America was sold out in this period, Vietnam is just one that comes to mind....
@SATyphoon Guerrillas and terrorism are 99.99% politics and less than .01% fight. Mugabe never won a battle against Rhodesia, but he rules Zimbabwe today and Rhodesia is just past. In Argentina, Montoneros and ERP terrorists were easily defeated by Videla in just some months. Today, Videla is serving life in prison and Argentina is ruled by a "former" montonera. Here in Brazil is the same as in Argentina. The same with Arafat, Fidel Castro, etc.
@5856eb - Amen to that !! second sentence - you have hit the nail on the head there. As an observation - all the countries that have wanted and got their "independence" and now MORE dependant on handouts than ever !! Oh ! how even today, I still get into arguments today with all the "bleeding heart,namby pamby, arty farty, liberal do gooders here" you know the kind I mean - "Africa for the Africans" and all that c**p. - no good for my blood pressure ! take care bro.
@wizzbang5267 Fought in WW11???? more like defected to the enemy! that's treasonable and Smithy was lucky not to have been strung up for that! I guess thats what you get when you give a Spitfire to a buffoon!
Mugabe has created a hate filled and divided society.....just as his buddy Ian Douglas Smith did!!!!!!
@DeathWarmedUp1000 Ian Smith flew Hurricanes and Spitfires in WW2 and when he was shot down in Italy , he recovered and led Italian partisans against the Germans. He had more courage in his left ear-lobe than you will ever have - in this life and the next.
@RhodesianBok Smithy? courage? ....thats just so funny! False bravado - "never in a thousand years!" Smithy was a coward. At the slight bit of pressure he gives in and sells his soul and countrymen to Mugabe. Not before he cut himself an immunity deal though. And you support this clown????.....says a lot about you then doesn't it!
Well Kaunda had one party rule from the 1960s to the early 1990s. In that span, Smith had come to power, relinquished power and entered retirement. Word on the street is that Nyere had to persuade Kaunda to leave.
@suryavajra Nyere? Nyerere maybe? How is President Oba?lol! African politics is beyond you. Somethings take more than a textbook to understand! BTW Smithy never relinquished power...he was thrown out by the masses of the country who we tired of his treachery.....another Ghadhafi if you will!
President Oba does well. He may be unseated by Governor Per...lol! I understand the politics of Africa qite well. My hardworking friends at the RF gave me all the useful intel...lol! btw, Smith gave up power. The first Black PMof Rhodesia was the good Bishop...
@DeathWarmedUp1000 Please don't presume to mislead our American cousins. The democratic vote in 1980 inaugurated the dominance of Robert Mugabe. I. D. Smith remained in parliament, as did Joshua Nkomo, until Uncle Bob saw off his Ndebele opponents in operation Gukurahundi. Smithy's influence was curtailed by the colonial power Britain at the end of the bush war, but it took the combination of the outcome of the conflict, international opinion, and the will of the people to achieve it
My Granda, a Scotsman, flew in 44 Squadron in the Second World War, we are so proud he flew in a Rhodesian Squsdron . The rape of your country makes me cry. The bread basket not now.
Never ceases to make me sorrowful how this once happy, stable, prosperous nation was replaced with one of the most vicious and pathetic hellholes in existence.
Sad fact but money was more important to the west than are cousins in rhoede, fair play to Ian he tried his best for the people of rhoede black and white
How is "freedom" under Mugabe working out? How many more millions of Africans need to die to feed that pompous tyrant who got trained in economic theory in Pyongyang?
All liberals are facilitators of the 30 Million plus who have starved to death since 1980...
Zingy, I've told you before, you are not fit to shine Ian Douglas Smith's shoes. IDS is acknowledged far and wide as a man of great courage, who flew fighters in WW2 and went through life with great courage. These facts are documented everywhere. You are a cheap little left wing Pom punk, probably on benefits, drinking warm beer, smarting after the guys battered your cricket team recently.
HAHA!! I see that Zingy hasn't apologized for the racism, intolerance and oppression that was the British Empire. Interesting that he doesn't say a word of the regime that controlled Rhodesia longer than RF and ZANU combined. Can anyone say double standards?? lol!!!
IDS was a great warrior and soldier. Nobody can question his courage in battle.
@suryavajra "Slurry the Curry" you keep coming back like a bad penny. Perhaps you can explain why I need to have a lecture from a school-going, Indian who has never set foot in Africa. IDS was a clown and history has correctly labeled him as such.
NOW pack your lunchbox and off to school with you!
''A bad penny''....as opposed to a good penny?? Can pennies be bad?? They are discs of metal with a currency value stamped on them....So in that case you can reckon they are neither good nor bad, but a thing.
Well I'd explain that you need a lecture to be better educated and informed, since most of your comments are foot stamping hissy fits and overall prissiness...lol!!
Ian Douglas Smith was a war hero and leader of Rhodesia. He certainly deserved better treatment from the West.
@suryavajra - well look where Smithie's miss placed bravado got him. Hated so much by all he "ruled" that he had to be buried in another country. I think Smithie was snoring when the "winds of change" were blowing - everyone else felt them and seemed to understand what they meant. But no, not your brain surgeon Smithie - "never in a thousand years" he said. Smithie was another Idi Amin....nothing more, nothing less.....good riddance!
Zingbo, you are so out to lunch, it ain't even funny. He may not, pardon the expression. been your cup of tea, but in the end, he was the most progressive of all of the leaders in Africa, White and Black. He certainly was a lot better than BJ Vorster of South Africa to the south of him and he was better than Kenneth Kaunda to the north of Rhodesia. And yes, he was better than Idi Amin.
Every one else ''felt them''....Who exactly was everyone else?? Do name names, son. If anything ''Winds of Change'' was coined by one Harold Wilson, if I'm not mistaken.
But actually Mr Zingy it never had to turn out this way, had you guys not denied the process of reforms for so long. It was with the backdrop of a decrepit, intellectually bankrupt, and double dealing Empire, that Smith announced his own vision for Rhodesia. UDI.
@suryavajra ....Once again you contradict yourself. If Smithie was so "progressive" why would he need time to reform? Fuel shortages, land mines, murder, grenade proofed windows are the legacy of this madman. Why you and your Rhodie buddies romanticize what was a obviously a torrid time in history overseen by a brutal racist regime is beyond me. You are a "darkie"...Smithie would not have let YOU sit on a park bench, let alone vote. There's your hero for you!!!!
Well I would be considered a ''darkie and a Paki'' in British society and I wouldn't have been allowed to vote if you Brits had your way....Yet apparently you point the finger at Smith?? Please.....Smith was a million times better than the Brits.
Does what you say have any bearing to the topic being debate?? Seriously dude, you ought to cease with your hysterics and actually have a point when you argue? Just saying...
@1floridacracker ...100% accurate???...you kiddin' right?! How accurate was "never in a thousand years"....now if he had said "never in fourteen years" that would have been different.
Some people think Idi Amin was a great leader....some people worship the devil...some people smoke their socks.....need I elaborate?
@94Colonial ...so you are going to tell me "never in a thousand years" was a hyperbole? Well it wasn't. It was a statement of a deluded despotic maniac who successfully destroyed the moral and social fibre of an entire nation. A man who makes Ghadafi and Charlie Sheen look totally reasonable.
@MrZingy Given that he agreed upon majority rule by the year 2035, then yes. This was, like many other reasonable agreements, taken back by the British. They did this time and time again. And look, I see where you're coming from, but you just can't dispute that history has proven him right.
@94Colonial ...WTF....who the hell is Smithy to say who gets to vote and when. The right to self determination is an unalienable human right. Guess the old geezer learnt that lesson the hard way. History records that Smithy was a complete and utter failure to all the people of Zimbabwe - and before you go there - history will record the same thing about Uncle Bob!
@MrZingy It has taken the western world over two thousand years to adjust to democracy. Do you not think ninety years is a little soon for a population, many of whom could not read, some lived in rural areas, perhaps never even having heard of democracy, and it was not there way. The west has it's ways, as does the east, and sub-saharan Africa is different yet again. There were certain financial/eductaional criteria one had to meet to vote, and blacks were getting there, slowly but surely.
@94Colonial ....listen here....you tell me one "western democracy" that determines voting rights through educational levels. I personally know black Oxford graduates that Smithy denied the vote to. Smith was a pure and unadulterated racist, who tried every trick in the book to hold on to power whilst making out he was a reformist. Luckily for most he was also a coward, and when staring down the barrel of a gun he was quick to capitulate.
"History records that Smithy was a complete and utter failure..."
Now that we've seen how communist Zimbabwe has turned out, history now records that Ian Smith was right.
His only failure was his inability to prevent foreign powers from installing a communist dictatorship.
And if he was such a racist and a coward, how was he able to live in an unguarded apartment in Zimbabwe until his health failed in 2005? Everything I've seen shows he was held in very high regard by the people.
@jarvy251 ...Well Dick, if you have ever been to Zimbabwe there is nothing communist about it. Mugabe never had a communist ideology (he may be a dictator and a kleptomaniac, but not a commie) Smithy knew this, but he needed to find a way of diverting international attention from his own unsustainable racist ideologies. This was a weak attempt to get the US into a Vietnam type intervention. Kissinger saw through that.
@MrZingy .....Sorry thought your name was Richard.....another person I was engaged with...hence the "Dick"....sorry, please accept my apology....wrong person.
@jarvy251 You know Smith cut a deal with Mugabe that guaranteed his safety. He sold out his values (as distorted as they were) to save his own skin! First he led the Rhodesians down the garden path, then he sold them down the river, yet your type just cant see this and continue to worship this " prince of Darkness"!
Even Cecil Rhodes could be buried in Rhodesia, but Smith cant....why is this? Does reflect a man who is loved by his people. Smith was another Idi Amin no matter how you cut it!
He cut a deal? With what? What could Smith have possibly given to ensure his safety? He had nothing left. The reality is that he regularly walked the streets, and queued up in bread lines just like everyone else. In fact, the only thing keeping him from being buried in Zimbabwe is that his family couldn't afford it. No one was keeping him out, not even Mugabe.
PS - Haha, don't worry about the "Dick." I've been called worse in any case.
@jarvy251 ..Yes he cut a deal. Deal not to unify with Nkomo, deal to passify white communities and keep farmers farming, deal not to undermine Zanu pf in Parliament. Mugabe paid him with safe passage.
The very fact that he talked about the black majority and the white minority - showed he was unable to comprehend that voters can and should vote on the issues and NOT on racial lines. As a racist he could never see a black as his equal.Zimbabweans are still paying the price for that ineptitude!
Sorry, but that does not even hold up to basic logic. If Smith was killed, he couldn't unify with Nkomo, problem solved. And we saw how much Mugabe cared about keeping white farmers farming when he nationalized the farms to give to his cronies.
As for the voting laws, nothing ever said that Blacks could not vote. The franchise was based on education, how long you've held a job, etc. Running out of space, I will continue next post.
@jarvy251 ....Mugabe need to white farmers as the main stay of the economy. If he touched Smithy they would all run to the hills and the country would go down. The fact that he eventually played this card was at a time when he was losing control and the promise of land to the masses was all he had left. He knew his economy was history at that point.
As I was saying, it doesn't sound politically correct, but as we're seeing in many nations, introducing an unlimited franchise out of nowhere does not work, and has never worked anywhere. I think a truly representative government would have been inevitable, especially after the mainly black Rhodesian Army had served so well in their country's defence. We can what if all day, It's just what I think, and I don't think we'll change eachother's minds.
@jarvy251 Smithy would do anything to hide his inherently racist facist ideologies as he new the world would string him up for it. Remember the world had just gone through one Hitler and ol' Smithy was singing the same tune. Kissinger was Jewish. I can should you black Oxford graduate who Smithy persecuted and denied the vote. Mugabe was extremely educated - didnt see him voting either! Bottom line....Rhodesia was a sad indictment on the depth of human depravity.
The "Never in a thousand years" quote is taken shamefully out of context. Read the whole speech. He was saying in the long run, Majority Rule along racial lines, Black or White, will destroy the country.
Welensky and Huggins were Rhodesian PMs as well....but since they were good boys for the Brits, you say nothing about them. Double standards much?? lol!
@RhodesianBok ..blah,blah, blah....heard it all before son! Smithie was a bumbling buffoon without the foggiest idea of how to "play the game". All Smithie proved was that when the writing was on the wall, knowing how to read can be a valuable asset.!!
@RhodesianBok "IDS is acknowledged far and wide", yeah bet that far and wide means the 4 corners of ur house.that is if u still have 1 unless uncle bob took it away
Winston Churchill was Ian Smiths personal hero as he is a hero to a lot of other people myself included.However, I believe Ian Smith to be as great a man as Churchill, for not only did he have to lead his country through its darkest hour but had to do it alone without the help of the rest of the world and was ultimately betrayed by those who should have helped. A very great man who lived up to Kiplings IF even more so than Dr Jameson.
@stricklandsahib Absolutely correct..I had the great privilege to grow up knowing Ian Douglas Smith, a man among men. The Brits,Americans and West are going to have to pay the piper. The enemy is not at the gate..they have walked in and are sitting next to us around the campfire,planning the next move...
it's important not to leave behind the curtails of hate crimes against the boer and the rhodesians such as farm attacks and gang rapes to brutal murder and attacks... it is happening, and whatever ppl should do is confront the government to step up
Makes me ashamed as an American that we supported communist terror over the great nation of Rhodesia. Shame on the US, UK and UN for not supporting freedom.
@malpasocatamount i agree especially since obama, just watch how freedom will slide away... im ashamed as a canadian that we are no longer a free country
@railroadtie69 well said. How has militant socialism become en vogue in the US, Canada and the UK? Canadians are fighting like hell to keep their firearms and hunting & fishing rights, right?
@railroadtie69 well said. How has militant socialism become en vogue in the US, Canada and the UK? Canadians are fighting like hell to keep their firearms and hunting & fishing rights, right?
Learning more about the history of Rhodesia makes me sick. How can a country never loose a battle but loose a war!?
@malpasocatamount you're right, the liberals tried hard to take away our gun rights in canada.... Makes me sick to learn what happened with rhodesia because since zimbabwe's bob mugabe, the rhodesians have lost their rights and im sure you heard of the farm invasions over the past 10 years... it doesnt end there, in south africa there are things our media doesnt talk about such as hate crimes targetting the boers and white african people including farm murders and gang rapes
@malpasocatamount Easy. The lefties and socialists are highly organised. They apply non-stop pressure until everybody allows their government to put sanctions on Rhodesia, deny them exporting goods, deny them oil,weapons to defend themselves etc.etc.etc Question is..where will it end?...I think that decent people all over the west, will simply carry on eating big macs,watching T.V. and will end up like the Rhodesians(who fought like lions against tremendous odds)...destroyed...
@RhodesianBok - you really do live in "cloud cuckoo land" dont you, my boy? Your precious Ian Smith was an uneducated, cowardly dictator who had no respect for the norms that we in the West hold dear. History has thrown him into the scrap heap of political disasters along with Amin, Sese Seko, Savimbi et al. Deal with it and move on.
@RhodesianBok Nah nothing could be further from the truth! we in the west sold you down the river to satisfy our need to prove we are a tollarnt country! However that demon has been excecised now. With the election of a black man for a single term millions of whites here will now be able to say they are not racist and they have proof! They voted for a black man. We could never live together as you did, we could never forgive as you did. But we ae now free to act out in a manner unbecoming!
@Beeba1 - we corrected the wrong that was Rhodesia, because we have values that align with basic common decency. You and your Rhodie friends really need to come out of your caves and join a world that celebrates diversity and compassion between all men. You chose to focus on the negative and reduce everything to colour, you ignore the lessons and warnings of history at your own peril. You continue to use promote political ideologies that have failed time and time again!
''values that align with basic common decency''....so precisely what does that have to do with your intimate relations with one, Robert Gabriel Mugabe and ZANU PF?? Are you saying that they reflect ''basic common decency''?? lol!!
The fate for Natives in Zimbabwe would have been similar to that of New Zealand, Australia, Canada...etc..etc. etc...Ian Smith just failed to pull out what all his other cousins did. Yes! Ian Smith will have created prosperity, but for whom? Fertile lands in the country was already distributed along racial lines....yes Mugabe decision destroyed the economy but there was little other option. ...STOP LYING TO YOURSELF....
The world leaders that allowed the death of Rhodesia should be rotting in prison or burning in hell. The fact they stood by the communist blacks and let the jewel of Rhodesia fall into the hell it is now just shows to what degree the sickness of liberal diversity mongers will stoop. I guess its better to doom an entire country than let it be ruled by sane anti communist white Europeans. It would be racist otherwise. Damn the world for what they did, damn you to hell.
Can anyone give any contemporary information about songs like these? Sort of things like how popular they were, was it something played on radios or produced for home use? Or anything that relates to that sort of information. Just a historical curiousity to understand the time perioid.
Hey man the4 sould had done a power shearing at those day with mugabe in the zim ro periode those days I think well dont know but they think would had been beter but things change one day every country went through some thing
Rhodesia was a quite interesting country. Do blacks now think that living in Rhodesia was worse than living in modern Zimbabwe?

Mugabe and his gangsters are raping and destroying a once great nation.

@SATyphoon Guerrillas and terrorism are 99.99% politics and less than .01% fight. Mugabe never won a battle against Rhodesia, but he rules Zimbabwe today and Rhodesia is just past. In Argentina, Montoneros and ERP terrorists were easily defeated by Videla in just some months. Today, Videla is serving life in prison and Argentina is ruled by a "former" montonera. Here in Brazil is the same as in Argentina. The same with Arafat, Fidel Castro, etc.

The west has it's ways, as does the east, and sub-saharan Africa is different yet again. There were certain financial/eductaional criteria one had to meet to vote, and blacks were getting there, slowly but surely.

@94Colonial ....listen here....you tell me one "western democracy" that determines voting rights through educational levels. I personally know black Oxford graduates that Smithy denied the vote to.

Luckily for most he was also a coward, and when staring down the barrel of a gun he was quick to capitulate.

Now that we've seen how communist Zimbabwe has turned out, history now records that Ian Smith was right.
His only failure was his inability to prevent foreign powers from installing a communist dictatorship.
And if he was such a racist and a coward, how was he able to live in an unguarded apartment in Zimbabwe until his health failed in 2005? Everything I've seen shows he was held in very high regard by the people.
jarvy251 11 months ago
@jarvy251 ...Well Dick, if you have ever been to Zimbabwe there is nothing communist about it. Mugabe never had a communist ideology (he may be a dictator and a kleptomaniac, but not a commie) Smithy knew this, but he needed to find a way of diverting international attention from his own unsustainable racist ideologies. This was a weak attempt to get the US into a Vietnam type intervention. Kissinger saw through that.

He cut a deal? With what? What could Smith have possibly given to ensure his safety? He had nothing left. The reality is that he regularly walked the streets, and queued up in bread lines just like everyone else. In fact, the only thing keeping him from being buried in Zimbabwe is that his family couldn't afford it. No one was keeping him out, not even Mugabe.
PS - Haha, don't worry about the "Dick." I've been called worse in any case.
jarvy251 11 months ago
@jarvy251 ..Yes he cut a deal. Deal not to unify with Nkomo, deal to passify white communities and keep farmers farming, deal not to undermine Zanu pf in Parliament. Mugabe paid him with safe passage.
The very fact that he talked about the black majority and the white minority - showed he was unable to comprehend that voters can and should vote on the issues and NOT on racial lines. As a racist he could never see a black as his equal.Zimbabweans are still paying the price for that ineptitude!
MrZingy 11 months ago
@MrZingy
Sorry, but that does not even hold up to basic logic. If Smith was killed, he couldn't unify with Nkomo, problem solved. And we saw how much Mugabe cared about keeping white farmers farming when he nationalized the farms to give to his cronies.
As for the voting laws, nothing ever said that Blacks could not vote. The franchise was based on education, how long you've held a job, etc. Running out of space, I will continue next post.
jarvy251 10 months ago
@jarvy251 ....Mugabe need to white farmers as the main stay of the economy. If he touched Smithy they would all run to the hills and the country would go down. The fact that he eventually played this card was at a time when he was losing control and the promise of land to the masses was all he had left. He knew his economy was history at that point.
MrZingy 10 months ago
@MrZingy
As I was saying, it doesn't sound politically correct, but as we're seeing in many nations, introducing an unlimited franchise out of nowhere does not work, and has never worked anywhere.

We can what if all day, It's just what I think, and I don't think we'll change eachother's minds.

Mugabe was extremely educated - didnt see him voting either! Bottom line....Rhodesia was a sad indictment on the depth of human depravity.
