Same here… I was born in the early 1970’s and grew up on a farm at Mount Hampden just outside of Salisbury. Although the war was in full swing, I have very found memories of my childhood.
@@CapturingMemories Yeah same here...born late 1960's growing up close to Bindura...went to school in Salisbury. The memories of childhood, stopping in Sinoia and Karoi on the way to Kariba...Vic Falls, Wankie...but the best memories was on the farm. Thank you again for bringing us all these memories.
This channel just gets better and better, the content here is unbelievably good! I would love to sit, drink tea, talk to you and listen to your stories...you mam are a treasure!
These are wonderful memories shared and a window into a past that should not be forgotten....thank you so much.....the production is amaizing too...take care
What a beautiful noble lady . I’ve listened to all Of these little clips and loved the insight on the past . It’s heart breaking to hear some of the stories but the resilience and commitment to their home country is so commendable . I lived in Mozambique in the early 2000s and witnessed the exodus of white families into the country but have never heard such a beautifully illustrated family history as you’ve put together … a wonderful lady many thanks
Watching these interviews I am truly saddened and broken hearted also shocked and outraged. Most of all grateful to you all who recorded and put them out for viewing. These videos really capture the abilities of man. To scratch out prosperous farms from the barren veld and to see them regress to the original state is all due to men. The men who made the riches and then those who destroyed it. Thank you.
Wow it’s so cool how they were so close to the workers during that time. I wish everybody that has such a connection with Africa and enjoyed humble lives so much peace. It’s important for the future of our countries that our best of all colours come back to Africa and so that we can work towards having a better futur, I respect people so much that want to stay. It’s so lovely how she got on with the children and everybody in the bush. I love stories of people coming together, a bit different from the narrative of people in settlements secluded from real life.
i grew up in sr and even in the 1950's we slept over at relations, each was given a blanket and you had to sleep on the hard floor.......our fort vic aunt uncle and 4 cousins lived without eletricity, i love to listen to rhd memories
Rhodesia never imposed any kind of racial segregation. I lived in Zimbabwe 1988-92 and many Native Africans longed for “old” times. As they said, “we can vote but not feed ourselves”.
@@janthyregod5763 My goodness, sir, you are a liar. There was racial segregation. There were areas in every town were no Africans were allowed. I will not comment on what this gentle lady is saying out of respect for the aged...because, at this point, the First Chimurenga had already been and gone.
Beautiful memories...longing for the "carefree" days living up as a child on the farm. Thank you for sharing.

Hartley where I believe the first gold was found? Memorable and simpler times so long ago where much was shared.

There were few times i ever felt real freedom and most of them was in the rhodesian bush.
Rodesia the unrecognised state collaborated with fascist apartied regime. If I am not mistaken , right ??
Sir / madam south afrika and rhodesie were neighboring countrys. As for the fascist part ,what you have read /heard was mostly communist propaganda.
@@vryheidvirdieboervolk973 Absolutely true!
I'm a Rhodesian myself
