This song is very relatable to me. I am a South African lad but my aunt and uncle were from Rhodesia. They had a home in Harare and a countryside (I forgot the name of that place). Unfortunately they sold their home back in 80's and uncle met an unfortunate end soon after. Though that was just the beginning of her struggle as soon 2001 came and bought with itself the devil called Mugabe. He took her land by force where she and my uncle used to farm (with some labourers). That was her one of the two sources of income. As things started getting downhill, she moved to South Africa later that year and till this date lives with us!

Wow lots of people here really don't understand the Rhodesian bush war or the war in Angola. The avg. white Rhodesian or South African was no more racist than the average American white in the 60s/70s. Lets start with why the war was fought, as it is a common misconception that it was a white army in Africa keeping down its native population. This is false. while Rhodesia was a white minority-ruled state, this is because most of the black population eligible to vote in the early 60s where actually encouraged by African nationalist groups to not participate in the "colonial elections" (this was before UDI in 65), and thus the white minority dominated politics. In the Congo when the Belgians left completely they took the entire Col. government with them, and almost immediately because only 3 of 5000 gov. workers were Congolese (Belgian congo was evil, not arguing for them), and only 16 people in the Congo graduated from university. The Congo immediately fell into a multi-factional civil war. Rhodesia took note of this, their own black population was far better off than the Congo's, but much of Rhodesia was still tribal, Primarily Shona and Ndebele peoples who have historic conflicts with one and other. The Rhodesian gov. understood that these two peoples wouldn't just magically get over their differences if majority rule was simply handed to them. (to be fair this is the fault of the British for never once considering tribal differences when making their colonies) The White minority government of Rhodesia was trying to paternalistically educate its black population to prepare them for proper political enfranchisement. this is more then the Mugabe government ever did for its people, black or white. Second, it was really a war about Communists vs the West. The Soviet Union, and China loved playing up racial politics in their propaganda they sent to Africa, and it worked a great deal. Btw these Communist Guerillas were not freedom fighters. they committed atrocities against black villages for many reasons, usually because they didn't want anything to do with the war, they killed women and children, and would loot homes as well. they were terrorists. Finally you probably didn't know that in total 80% of the Rhodesian Security Force (Rhodesian Military) were Black Rhodesians, and these men where both volunteer, and conscript just like their white counterparts. this includes 40% of army Regulars, and while it never saw the light of day, the Rhodesian army was planning to train black officers, but this was in 1979, and by 1980 Rhodesia was no more.

Imagine living as a tribal subordinate of a people who built a modern industrial state, and then demanding to be given everything when you're unhappy with the little you get for the nothing you provide. And then of course your country collapses into violence and poverty because you have no idea how to run a country.

@@ayodejiolowokere1076land has no ethnicity 😂 And that’s not how “wealth” works. All countries increase in GDP over time due to technology and population increase. So there are more people, and each of them can be more productive thanks to technology. SA’s GDP per capita in 1979 was 95% of the global average that year ($2,197 SA; $2,317 Globe). In 2023 it is 48% of the global average ($6,253 SA; $13,138 Globe). So in relation to the rest of the world, SA has gotten markedly poorer per capita since 1979. And I’m no Czech.

@@chirpyes no, the option was given in 1923 after the halt of 'British South Africa Company' rule, should they be joining South Africa or establish self-government as a crown colony and Rhodesians picked the latter, this chance wasn't offered again after the end of Federation, and South Africa has already quitted British Commonwealth in 1961 (as a Republic), so there couldn't be reasons for a British colony to join a country that has no more relationship between Commonwealth or Britain I'd reckon

@@wolraadwoltemade3275 The idea of going back in time and trying to make Rhodesia and South Africa the way they were in the 1950s and/or 1960s lacks all grandeur and vision, never mind the fact that we would inevitably end up back where we started. It is quite evident to me that a significant portion of you consciously hold the belief that all that has to be done is to establish a Christian "Nationalist" government, and then everything will simply fall into place. However, this is just not going to be the case. Christianity is the reason we are here to begin with. Christianity is really just a form of Judaism that was developed by Joos who were too lazy to practice their religion properly. As a result, they threw out almost all of the rules of Judaism and invented this ludicrously implausible “religion” that has completely destroyed successful societies the world over, including ours. Rhodesia and South Africa were destroyed by Christianity, along with Rome, Greece, the British Empire, the United States and many more states. Do you want to see an even greater European Africa return? Maybe we can start taking such an idea seriously once Cuckstianity is abolished and discarded by White Europeans across the world. Don't bother at all until then. Within a decade, the Roaches would take control of New Rhodesia and New South Africa.
It's so sad how much the Boers have been let down. Your history is complicated and controversial, but you are a culture of hard work and great moral values, and to see you gone would be such a loss. Knowing the ANC has more or less encouraged for your genocide, I'm curious about how you are doing in South Africa? Are things okay?

South Africa's system is unacceptable but Rhodesia's, while still bad, is not nearly as bad as some people make it out to be. for example a black man could not vote in South Africa, whereas is Rhodesia, provided he was educated and rich enough, he could vote (which in practice means only white minority could vote, but again in theory a black man could vote), as well as black people being able to be in the same public places. and even if Rhodesia was as bad as people made it out to be, just look at what Mugabe did to Zimbabwe Rhodesians Never Die!

In the apartheid it was hoped that Blacks would remain somewhere away from Whites. What a terrible approach. Whites building cities, modern infrastructure, bringing education? Let them share it with the Blacks. And if the two races combined their forces, amazing things would have been achieved. White-only beach, White-only restaurant, White-only hotel, White-only whatever - was that needed? In this, I support Thabo Mbeki. Race shouldn't matter!

Wow lots of people here really don't understand the Rhodesian bush war or the war in Angola. The avg. white Rhodesian or South African was no more racist than the average American white in the 60s/70s. Lets start with why the war was fought, as it is a common misconception that it was a white army in Africa keeping down its native population. This is false. while Rhodesia was a white minority-ruled state, this is because most of the black population eligible to vote in the early 60s where actually encouraged by African nationalist groups to not participate in the "colonial elections" (this was before UDI in 65), and thus the white minority dominated politics. In the Congo when the Belgians left completely they took the entire Col. government with them, and almost immediately because only 3 of 5000 gov. workers were Congolese (Belgian congo was evil, not arguing for them), and only 16 people in the Congo graduated from university. The Congo immediately fell into a multi-factional civil war. Rhodesia took note of this, their own black population was far better off than the Congo's, but much of Rhodesia was still tribal, Primarily Shona and Ndebele peoples who have historic conflicts with one and other. The Rhodesian gov. understood that these two peoples wouldn't just magically get over their differences if majority rule was simply handed to them. (to be fair this is the fault of the British for never once considering tribal differences when making their colonies) The White minority government of Rhodesia was trying to paternalistically educate its black population to prepare them for proper political enfranchisement. this is more then the Mugabe government ever did for its people, black or white. Second, it was really a war about Communists vs the West. The Soviet Union, and China loved playing up racial politics in their propaganda they sent to Africa, and it worked a great deal. Btw these Communist Guerillas were not freedom fighters. they committed atrocities against black villages for many reasons, usually because they didn't want anything to do with the war, they killed women and children, and would loot homes as well. they were terrorists. Finally you probably didn't know that in total 80% of the Rhodesian Security Force (Rhodesian Military) were Black Rhodesians, and these men where both volunteer, and conscript just like their white counterparts. this includes 40% of army Regulars, and while it never saw the light of day, the Rhodesian army was planning to train black officers, but this was in 1979, and by 1980 Rhodesia was no more.

@@ayodejiolowokere1076land has no ethnicity 😂
And that’s not how “wealth” works. All countries increase in GDP over time due to technology and population increase. So there are more people, and each of them can be more productive thanks to technology.
SA’s GDP per capita in 1979 was 95% of the global average that year ($2,197 SA; $2,317 Globe).
In 2023 it is 48% of the global average ($6,253 SA; $13,138 Globe).
So in relation to the rest of the world, SA has gotten markedly poorer per capita since 1979.
And I’m no Czech. Just a guy with an internet connection who takes 2 seconds to look things up before I speak.
@@ayodejiolowokere1076and now the labor is completely African in both SA and Zimbabwe, both of which are much poorer per capita relative to the world around them than 1979 SA and Rhodesia…so what does that tell you about the value of the labor source?

it was proposed that South Rhodesia joined the Union of South Africa after the dissolution of Rhodesia and Nyasaland. unfortunately it never joined together, and declared UDI a few years later, however admittedly it may have been worse off if it had joined, and installed apartheid.

@@chirpyes no, the option was given in 1923 after the halt of 'British South Africa Company' rule, should they be joining South Africa or establish self-government as a crown colony and Rhodesians picked the latter, this chance wasn't offered again after the end of Federation, and South Africa has already quitted British Commonwealth in 1961 (as a Republic), so there couldn't be reasons for a British colony to join a country that has no more relationship between Commonwealth or Britain I'd reckon

It is quite evident to me that a significant portion of you consciously hold the belief that all that has to be done is to establish a Christian "Nationalist" government, and then everything will simply fall into place. However, this is just not going to be the case. Christianity is the reason we are here to begin with. Christianity is really just a form of Judaism that was developed by Joos who were too lazy to practice their religion properly. As a result, they threw out almost all of the rules of Judaism and invented this ludicrously implausible “religion” that has completely destroyed successful societies the world over, including ours. Rhodesia and South Africa were destroyed by Christianity, along with Rome, Greece, the British Empire, the United States and many more states. Do you want to see an even greater European Africa return? Maybe we can start taking such an idea seriously once Cuckstianity is abolished and discarded by White Europeans across the world.

I compared your views to NSDAP's, because that's how they were: "Germans are a master race which knows how to rule the world. Slavs don't. They should be eliminated and few turned into servants of Germans. They shall have no education, army or whatever. No race-mixing. America is weak, because it allowed great Germans and horrible Slavs and Jews to live as equals". Well, Apartheid was not that radical, but similar
I'd never wanna be a Botswana
The comments are so unhinged smh…
Anyways, great song, hope all is well and I hope things get better in South Africa and Zimbabwe. And just to make sure, no Redditor comments in this:
No Colonial Revisionists Allowed
The black Bantu population were the colonizers read a history book
@@hello7522 At least their “colonization” was from a result of thousands of years of peaceful migration instead of a result of Europeans doing Europe things and triggering ethnic infighting and exploiting the natives with force for resources, nationalism, and vanity.
Look up Africa before and after the Scramble for Africa, you illiterate.

Look up Pre-Colonial Africa and compare it Africa during the Scramble for Africa.
@@terminalimpact2771 The Bantu commited genocide against the region’s indigenous population. It was not peaceful.
🧡🤍💙 Those guys were the best, but as always some crying bozos ruined white man’s african dream
Rhodesia has become ZimmGhetto 😂
"gUyZ, achkuassly Rhodesia wasent razzzist because five black mem fout aganst Mugabe, Rhodesia gud!!! "-🤓
Way more than 5 try again😂
It should've been racist cause they'd have survived and continued being the most prosperous country in Africa. blacks are incapable of anything more than the most basic tribal societies
Rhodesia was divided by wealth, not primarily race. It just so happened that the whites had moved to Rhodesia from Britain, which just so happened to be the most wealthy nation on the planet at that point. So of course the whites where always going to be wealthier. I'm not going to deny that there was definitely racism in Rhodesia, however it wasn't even to the degree of the American Southern States at the time.
@@redbullsauberpetronasBro, shut up, Africans are perfectly capable, just in poverty 9/10.
Rhodesia was *always* good.
