Can you say with any honesty that Africans in present day Rhodesia are better off than they were before the majority government?
Have they got freedom now?

Irrespective of the initial Rhodesian setting, the song seems rather apropos of Brevik's murders in Olso at the moment.

God Bless Rhodesia. God Bless Ian Douglas Smith.

@misty50 I believe you are confusing Rhodesia with South Africa.

That's because Ian Smith wasn't a racist, communist-terrorist.

I know a few black Zimbabweans who I consider my friends. They tell me that having lived under Mugabe they wish Ian Smith was still alive and in charge. At least the people never starved under white rule. I was a Military Policeman in Salisbury and I used to patrol the city and barracks with a black MP with the same rank as me. If we had reason to question any soldier regardless of colour, we would do it together. He was paid less, but he had a high standard of living and was quite happy.

This is about the end of Rhodesia, the beginning of Zimbabwe, you know when the black soldiers joined their compatriots against the whites.
In the school holidays I was at school with BLACKS in Rhodesia.
When Zimbabwe took over Blacks shared houses, schools to the point that whites were evicted to make space for them - including farms.
...and with your spouting, can you show me proof of any of these allegations? Or is it hearsay?
If this long dead army of ''rhodesia'' was so multi-racial how come the Black soldiers were never paid the same as the White ones ?
How come the Black soldiers weren't allowed to live in White houses, their children allowed to go to school etc with White kids ?
How come those Black soldiers weren't given same human freedoms as the White soldiers ?

The requirements laid out by Ian Smith were designed to bring a stone age people into the modern world. You can look at present day Rhodesia and see exactly why the policies were needed.

The Rhodesian Army was 80% black. There was no apartheid and the requirements to vote were simply brilliant considering the state the indigenous population was in.
Ian Smith was a great man who cared about his entire country and her peoples. Africa has seen VERY few men like that.
