It would be really interesting if they did another one of these programs, visited all these countries and saw how they developed and changed. They won't bother though, to busy making "reality" T.V.
flashtin166 I think it'd get boring after a while. Basically every episode would come down to: it became a shithole.
flashtin166 "how they developed and changed"? More like how they degenerated, crumbled, collapsed, disintegrated, etc......
flashtin166 they all turned in shit exept south africa for obvious reasons...
+Bottlekiller well said. great comment.
+Bottlekiller agree with most you say however I have lived in Zim and Singapore and you do not get a punishment for chewing gum,only if you leave it on the ground then it is a fine ,no medieval punishment lol, I loved it there so clean and safe could even leave my bag on a bar why I popped to the loo I had no trouble with their rules ,like most people who want somewhere clean and safe to visit or live
Thank you for posting this video. Rhodesia/Zimbabwe is a very complicated and sad story.
And the colonists the worst of the worst…

My left ear loves this soooo much.
"Here, as throughout the British Empire, the whites who stayed on continued to prosper"
This statement sure did age well after 25 years of Mugabe's excellent rule, Mugabe's "land reform" insured that they didn't, even at the cost of inflicting famine and extreme economic hardship on his people.
Some people build, other steal. That's how it's always been since thousands of years.
In the Russial language there is a proverb: "We don't value what we have, but when we lose it - we cry". For me it's the best description of the history of Rhodesia\Zimbabwe.
@Symon-Mu. This will be on everyone’s lips when we cease to exist as our. Country disintegrates with immigration.
Impressive that they interviewed both Smith and Mugabe for this documentary.
That's how a good documentary is done like the death of Yugoslavia
That’s nothing. In a BBC documentary on the Gulf War, they interviewed Mikhail Gorbachev, Hosni Mubarak, Colin Powell, Norman Schwarzkopf, Tariq Aziz and even Margaret Thatcher.
1985 Mugabe was still a hero & not the murdering thief of his own people that he became.
Rhodesia will always be in my heart...Pamwe Chete.

I was a member of the Commonwealth Monitoring Team working on Puma Helicopters - for me the outcome was obvious - in 1968/69 I had been seconded to the Zambian Air Force and saw what happened there - no bloodbath but we struggled with day by day commodities. When the Vic Falls border opened in 1980 the Zambians descended on the town like locusts. Rhodesia worked!!
Nkrumah Ture you are blind!

+David Lloyd For whites, but that is Africa, not europe. It will be the oasis for african development that Africans want to be, and that's final.
+NkrumahTure Unfortunately they allowed Mugabe to turn that oasis into a barren wasteland.
Maya Yeel if anything you’re the racist.
Fascinating programme. Thanks for the upload!
I like how when confronted with the fact that there was a black majority government that nkomo basically admits that they just want to run things. Not to mention how Zimbabwe is now...not exactly a better place to live is it.
@Maya Yeel Zimbabwe is indebted now to the Chinese as are more and more African nation's. You traded European Colonialism for self rule and when you all couldn't run a country worth a damn you had to go begging to the Chinese for help. You traded European Colonialism for Chinese Colonialism. Well Done
If only the rest of the world cared about what they were doing to Rhodesia. It is plain to see posturing and self interest was the order of the day. The British, too weak to to keep to their own word, too interested in how the rest of the world would see them, sold Rhodesia down the drain. I hope and pray that any and all involved in that betrayal feel pain for ever more. My home, my family, my country is gone, never to return.
You must have faith! The younger generation might be able to save it based on mistakes of the past...

Truly, the English made their own bed, now they lie in it. Unfortunately what goes around comes around, and the common folk of the U.K. are paying for it thanks to their ineffective, pansy government.
Ridiculous.
but soon chinese and russians will colonise africa, believe me
Ian Smith (1919-2007) was a great leader.
Then He could go and lead white people in Europe not in Africa
I agree. UK and Europe needs leaders like Smith. Sadly we was given to blacks.
Oh yes
Maya Yeel You have no right to talk about hell or heaven- or casting anyone to it. You were just talking about having a username which meant unbeliever in Islam, so stop spewing random bullshit. You sound like a sociopath and like a sociopath I’ve encountered you also like accusing people of being narcissist. UDI and Smith was Rhodesia’s only hope. ZANLA and ZAPU, were corrupt and funded by communists, ran by Marxist- caused death, destruction, terrorism, starvation, a raped economy, a worse situation for blacks then it was as 2nd class citizens- in 1960! Today they would be equal no doubt about it. Rhodesian Blacks has some of not THE best conditions in all of Africa including easily affordable healthcare and other benefits others didn’t and still don’t have. “Whites don’t belong in Africa” yeah okay. I bet you’re the kind of whore who will complain if I say Muslims and Africans don’t belong in Europe. That’s a double standard libtards like you will use. Have fun sitting in a peaceful nation made and protected by whites which gives out the freedoms to spit on who have sacrificed and pioneered to make great civility in the world. Go fuck yourself, whore.
Maya Yeel Ian Smith fought nazis in ww2 and had his eye and face fucked up in a crash. He had a successful marriage and 3 kids. He lead Rhodesia to greatness for 11 years under extreme sanctions... What have you or yours done?

I knew i shouldn’t have checked out this comment section.
34:46 - Fernando Honwana was one of those who died with President Machel in the 1986 plane crash.
What's the name of the theme from the show?
Rhodesia was (at least) the second best country in Africa, with "apartheid" SA being (most probably) the best. Today Zimbabwe is the second worst country in Africa, with Somalia and Libya - after the "friendly" USA / UK intervention - sharing the first worst place.
Isn't it funny - every place that the UN/US/EU stick their nose in to give 'democratic processes', turns into a burning, destroyed shithole within only a couple of years. Really is a record on the best way to destroy a country from the ground up.
In a well'-organized country its resources must be bought dearly with all taxes paid and other ¨nasty´ procedures and paraphernalia respected. When you overthrow it changing it into a cannibals´ paradise you get its resources almost freely....just for small tips and glass beads for the locaal chieftains and a garrison to guard the mines. Besides , you prevent your rivals from exploiting them. Under Qaddafi the Chinese invested heavily in Libyan oil fields. The ÜS-EU-'backed thugs aka¨´freedom fighters´´ put an end to all Chinese presence in Libya.
Exactly, Janusz, it is a great benefit overall in geopolitics only for those doing the 'liberation'. They deny 'rivals' access to a certain country and its resources, grant themselves exclusive political and mercantile rights, and in the process the country and its people end up in the toilet. We see a similar situation in Ukraine, with US-EU backed "Orange Revolution v2.0".
Nigeria is the best/ most prosperous country in the whole of Africa, as of now.
With 70% of its population living in absolute poverty , -9% industrial production growth , one physican for 2000 people and as a result of 3000 children and women dying daily because they can''t find medical aid , with war going on in the moslem north and total corruption eating up the country's resources Nigeria is the opposite to Rhodesia or South Africa under apartheid , a classical third world shithole just like the rest of this cursed African continent.

I don't agree with the documentary's comment that white Rhodesians had 'the most luxurious lifestyle in Africa.' I had relatives in South Africa (the richest and most powerful country on the continent) whose standard of living was just as good as we enjoyed north of the Limpopo.

I think Rhodesia would have ended up like Botswana if Mugabe didn't succeed
That would have been a blessing (at least in comparison). But Mugabe was really not the only problem. Tribalism, communism, corruption and those incredibly high birth rates would have destroyed the country anyway - with or without Mugabe. He only accelerated the downward spiral. That's of course NO EXCUSE. In my view he should never have been allowed back into the country after he left in 1974.
@@MarioStahl1983 Mugabe embodied and exercised to his full power all those negative aspects that you described
@@zachhoward9099 Yes, I fully agree. Ideologically Mugabe was a very toxic mixture of communism, tribalism and Christian fundamentalism. A very Strange Mix If you think about it. But above all His Reign was a cleptocracy, right?

Edson Zvobgo who we see here arguing very forceable later became very critical of Mugabe
In hindsight, we can say that Zimbabwe/Rhodesia would have been better off staying under British rule or under white rule as an independent British commonwealth. But those were heady times. The people were optimistic that everything would be great if the blacks could just govern themselves. The people didn't foresee the monster Mugabe would become and the whites weren't good at arguing why the status quo should continue. They just took it for granted that the blacks were not ready for self-rule and met violence with violence.
Sadly, history has shown that, in the main, blacks are unable to run a country well. Kenya is reasonable, but the rest are disasters. The Bible said that thousands of years ago in Genesis, and we have seen the truth of it. Wishing that it were not so doesn't change the facts.
jvaa cvaa what don't you get, whites belong in Europe,not Africa!
the fault is not this African or that one, if it hadn't been Mugabe it would have been some other individual or group shooting themselves in the foot. The reasons for the failure of black nations are obvious, but no one in the media will say it.
John Nichols YOU DO KNOW GOD PUT US ON DIFFERENT CONTINENTS FOR A REASON, RIGHT!
Every human being on the planet has their ancestral roots in Africa so to say that whites belong in Europe only or blacks belong in Africa only is utter tripe. Ultimately South Africa is the cradle of humankind despite all the foot stamping the "natives" do and claiming it isn't so. At the end of the day we are all natives of South Africa regardless of political ideology, religious indoctrination, skin color or current global location. I keep hearing how blacks belong in Africa and are the only true Africans because they have dark skins, so then somebody please explain to me where do Albinos belong? An albino baby born of a black mother and a black father in Africa is nevertheless white as the driven snow so then do they belong in Europe? Can you see how stupid this argument is?

Rhodesia, obviously! The UK is a trash can, unfortunately.
My left ear is going to love this!
Ireland, England's oldest colony was treated exactly the same way. Native Irish had their land seized, to become renters. Taxed and denied equal rights. It was illegal to teach children to read or write. England sharpened her teeth on Ireland. Then exported it to her colonies. It's not simply a black/white issue. Hence the Irish rose up in rebellion in 1916, and won her freedom by the barrel of the gun.
I can't believe the audio is still down for this. Copyright violation they call it? My ass. I think it is either an honest mistake or worse, an effort by politically correct trolls looking to keep the people ignorant of the ups and downs of colonialism by sweeping it under the rug. There's a lot to be learned from this series, especially from the highly controversial and contested, yet little-known subject of Rhodesia, and having this video down detracts from this knowledge.

The difference between Zimbabwe and Zambia, is that Zambia got its independence peacefully in 1965 and was ruled for many years by the moderate Kenneth Kaunda.
Throughout the Rhodesian war, Zambia lived in peace and prosperity ,and many whites from Europe went there to work.

Joe, I am a Christian. I stand by what I wrote. The history of Zimbabwe shows that the slow and steady of the 1961 Constitution was far better than an automatic one man one vote. More Africans died or were maimed during the Bush War by nationalists than ever were by the RhSF and those numbers were dwarfed by those during Gurkarundi. Joe if you are a Christian we are brothers, but we may just disagree.

Tragic. Both Rhodesia and South Africa were once great nations, until they were given back to the original inhabitants and now look what has happened...disaster.
From what I've read the part of Africa settled by the Dutch and turned into South Africa was inhabited by very few blacks when the Dutch arrived. The civilization the Dutch produced acted as a magnet for blacks further north.

'BOSS SMIDDIE'.....
As he was correctly known by all & sundry.
lmao denis healey has the best eyebrows ive ever seen oml
Rhodesian whites should've just given up in the mid-60s and handed over power to the black nationalists. Smith himself admitted that no one, not the British establishment, not the Commonwealth and not the UN would accept white minority rule and yet he went ahead anyway, resulting in so much pointless bloodshed & misery for 15 odd years. The Brits rightly saw that the more white Rhodesia clung on, the more the resistance would intensify. They could have had negotiations in 1965 to protect white rights whilst also instituting some sort of land buyback scheme to fairly redistribute land to blacks.
Well done Margaret, great judgment!
The lucky people packed up and left before the government changed. Those who stayed were later forced off their land and not allowed to take anything with them.

Найдется кто-нибудь кто сделает русскую озвучку?
Da
A revolution is made by educated people who have a clear objective in mind, and after they win , they are capable to rule that country. Here there was Mugabe and a couple of guys at the top manipulating the illiterate. That is why now Zimbabwe is a backwater country where hunger, HIV and illiteracy is rampant. Also it seems to me that he never fought for the people (he actually masacrated africans from the minority tribes) but for himself and uses the country as his personal propriety. Ian Smith even in his wildest dreams couldn't achieve what Mugabe achieved.
If you want to read about a true revolution against Britain, read The American Revolutionary War. Twenty years after independence(1783) USA had already a strong economy and was perceived as a regional power.
I think a gradual process leading to parity would have been the best solution. Zimbabwe is a frothing cesspool, probably the worst country to live in in south saharan africa

25:49 Its the black Gilbert Godfrey!!!
It is crystal clear after 40 years that Zimbabwe's mess can largely be attributed to Mugabe.

All Journalists Are Bastards, true then as now. 17:08 . He's found a nice woman who's probably a bit dim and is hoping for the best, and she's naive enough to speak on camera.

She has so much more stake in this than he does. For him it's a line on his resume, for her it's faith, family, and country.

Voetsak Lapalapa disgusting. Just wait and see, the E.U is incredibly wasteful and is too big. Its failing, i'm not exaggerating look it up. Outside the EU we will have control over our own fishing industry now, look up the documentary of how the EU destroyed the jobs and local economy of Britain's fishing towns. Also we will be free to make trade deals with countries outside the EU which are growing considerably more than those stagnating within. For example Mexico and Australia, which have already come forward with trade agreements.
4TheWinQuinn Is the ever going to be point when you face facts ,and see what a idiotic thing leaving was ,look at the pound , read the news investment down prices up - The things you dismissed as project fear are simply facts .
The bollocks you were promised were just lies, The EU might be wasteful all governmental organisations are, including the British government but it has a small budget so wastes less then most .
If only the minority settlers had the intellect to grant full rights to Rhodesia’s black majority specifically before armed struggle commenced, maybe the majority could’ve governed better upon majority rule?
Examples such as education, representation treatment and empowerment would of guaranteed the breadbasket of Africa would of remained as such.
Obviously that’s asking to much; historically, anywhere Europeans go theft, servitude and colonial rule follows.
The white minority’s opulence, status and way of life would consequently help usher in the bitterness and motivation for war.
Whites undoubtedly fought heroically for their Rhodesia but blacks were able to take the necessary casualties and hardships to eventually gain majority rule.
The white minority’s inability to see the righting on the wall forced tens and thousands of Zimbabweans to trade diplomacy for armed struggle and inevitably into the hands of a strongman named Mugabe and his ZANU-PF party.
But let’s be honest, the story of Zimbabwe is not isolated. Africa is full of similar stories of European enriching their economies at the detriment of generations of blacks.
Fooled by the hope of communism.
Nonsense. Look at the rest of Africa

The end came swiftly for the white man in Southern Africa.

Monentary problems, to see just how laughable Booba' Moogha-Boogha' has done as it's leader.
Thankfully now, people are seeing what mistakes we've made, what's been
lost, and who's to blame.
This coupled to our own problems, and glimpsing through lies in our own country as posed by both the media and by Barry Soetoro (the current occupier of the White
House), is garnering support for all of you.
I think, finally, at long last, the help and recognition, you so
desperately needed then is finally on it's way!
Bless you all,
A concerned American. :D
Dreaded 88, you took the words right out of my mouth. You hit the mark SPOT ON!

Documentary ends saying the whites "who stayed" continued to prosper. Too bad about 90% of the whites have left! And, for those who stayed, those farm appropriations and murders certainly smack of prosperity.
Yeah it's pretty misleading but slightly in the videos defense (which is hard as hell for.me to do) this was filmed in 83-84 before Mugabe revealed himself for what everyone thought he was, there are some statistics out there that showed in the first couple yrs of Zimbabwes existence white business owners profits actually increased, but it was short lived. It started with him renaming Salisbury, forcing General Walls out after a relatively short period (pretty sure Walls was out by 82 and had emigrated to Australia by 83) and then started blaming the whites who had stayed the course for all the countries problems. By 87 Zimbabwe's economy was on a downturn and I believe it was on a level of around 90-95% of White Rhodesian/Zimbabweans had left
so you gave rhodesia to mugabe,,,,good matelebe wiped out...genocced,,,rhodesia gone from a rich a country to just a poor country in a poor continent

BWAHAHAHA!!!!!
Pure +INFINITY comedy (!?).
Well and didn't it work out just wonderfully for Zimbabwe, an economic powerhouse of the 21st century, a poster-child democracy, exporter of grain where no one is starving...
Yeah. And where is Zimbabwe now!? Smith was right!
Wilson did NOT plead with us, he gave us ultimatim!
This is so hilarious. The madness of Colonial pomposity having to grasp reality in fits and starts, and then BOOM!!
Smith was right
Now it is a dump. LOL
Katherine Hans Von Rotes schild Zitler. But its our dump
@Maya Yeel only because China is playing the Africans just like every other power before them, give it time, things will go south with the chinese as well.
@Maya Yeel I'm not responsible for government boycotts firstly, secondly I've never even been to Africa so I haven't taken jack from these people and thirdly anyone who keeps up with world events knows what game China is playing in Africa. Building roads and infrastructure for exclusive rights to resources in African nations like Zimbabwe . But just like every world power that has come before they will tire of y'all taking advantage of them.
@Maya Yeel then why do you keep replying if no one cares or are you shocked that people know what China is really doing there?
Maya Yeel china is colonising Africa though it’s quite obvious
6:57 on right: Mugabe
