Almost all of the bad stuff the international community was saying the Rhodesians were doing (like forced relocation of rural rhodesians to protected villages) were direct results of taking on adversity caused by terrorist criminals seeking an elitist state, all under the guise of communism. The guerrilla leaders didn't care about communism, they cared about oligarchy. Mugabe and his right hand man took most of the good land for themselves. The white Rhodesians took most of the arable land previously because they had the knowledge and experience to utilize it properly, where the blacks traditionally herded and did that well. In time the black majority would gotten more and more say, and every rhodesian would be living better now if the international community did not support communist terrorists committing atrocities.
Why didn't you stay in Europe. Who invited you to Zimbabwe. We were farmers. Did you find us starving. You changed our way of living using our valuable resources that you sold to England since you had such knowledge than us. You are such a satanic devil. Thats why you pink devils suffer from anxiety and depression. Your minds are weak and foolish. We were trading with you fairly then you decided to use guns to take it all for free. We traded in gold ling before you showed up satan. Stop twisting history in your favour.

Your statement suggest you don’t understand politics. What amazes me about this conflict is how 14 years of UDI still led not to an UANC/ coalition government, but a ZANU dictatorship in which a terrorist leader became president. Ultimately, they were bad negotiators. Ian Smith stood too rigid for too long, and it took over a decade for the terrorist to be on par with the military power of the State.

I blame my fromer Prime Minister, BJ Vorster, for turning against these wonderful Rhodesians. If we never abandoned them, as we should have, our future would have been diffferent too.
Ultimately, it was Henry Kissinger who was truly the angel of death that forced Vorester to force Smith to his knees. I can only pray that Kissinger is now burning in hell for all of the new world order atrocities he and the global elites have caused.
Why would it have been? The only way a transitional government would be possible is if people would come to reality over fantasy. White farmers didn't fall on success, they built it from the ground up. The black community didn't and still doesn't have that. To transition we have to place responsibility on individuals to grow and learn, not just recieved handouts.
6:00 This is a classic example of empty virtue signalling. Allan Savory left Zimbabwe in 1979 just before black majority rule. Despite the risk, Ian Smith stayed in Zimbabwe until 2005 when, aged 86, he moved to South Africa for medical treatment.

The guy from minute 9:11, is south african military and being a south african he is in this case an afrikaner (his accent). In minute 8:12 all rhodesians are looking at him (including the old one.... a Rhodi officer for sure). It is attested that south african army supported the rhodesian army. Sad what happened with Rhodesia. South African politicians withdrew their support thinking that in this way their country was going to be saved from the black majority.... big error as history has confirmed.
Really!?!?. What makes you say that??? I would say he sounds either Rhodesian or English-speaking South African. He doesn't have an Afrikaans accent at all.
He is NOT South African. He was born in Rhodesia and lived there all his young life. There was South African support, but mainly in the form of helicopters and pilots. Also Para training was offered by the South Africans in Bloem. However, we also supported South African COIN training ion 1978/1979. All military hardware including ammunition was sold to Rhodesia at inflated prices by South Africa. Vorster should share the blame with USA and Britain. Pamberi ne Hondo!!!
My father was in the Rhodesian Air Force and South African military personnel first arrived on the scene in late 1967 and included soldiers, para-military police and airmen. Hence during the course of the war, several thousand South Africans served in Rhodesia. The first to be killed in action was Daniel du Toit during Operation Griffin in July 1968. Other South Africans who lost their lives included Lieutenant J.H. van Heerden, who died near Que Que on 7 January 1969; Lieutenant J. van Rensburg, killed near Umtali on 23 December 1975; Captain P. Velleman, killed in Mozambique on 6 September 1979 during Operation Uric, and Flight-Lieutenant J. J. Strydom, who lost his life in Mozambique on 2 October 1979 while likewise serving side-by-side with our own security forces.
Gosh, Rhodesia was such a terrible place with a stable currency a thriving economy, running water, plenty of electricity and air conditioning fully stock grocery store shelves no trash on the streets no graffiti on the buildings. I wonder what happened
The US and Britain had to negociate to their best interest, and show interests that put them in a good light. Keeping Rhodesian culture alive going forward would of course been the best thing, but it was too white. So in the end, they settled for policies bad for Rhodesia, but virtue signal them. In the end, Zimbabwe was left to wither and die as injustice was ignored for decades and the people left in horrible circumstances.
After guerillas had ruthlessly attacked a village: "This attack was aimed more against the white government than the black villagers....." Says who? Blatantly baseless supposition infused with overt bias _isn’t_ salient fact. Gotta love 'quality' journalism, only dealing with the ‘facts’! ;)
Yep and Zambia was in fact the last country in Africa to have a white head of state in 2015, when Guy Scott, who had been VP, took over when Pres Michael Sata died. He's still a member of the current ruling party, but no longer VP.
"I told him that I had met a few white Zambians down here, at the instigation of their government, trying to entice a few hundred of our commercial farmers to Zambia in order to solve their food crisis. They would be offered leased land free, soft loans and labour at less than half the cost in our country. It would be criminal if Zimbabwe was to land itself in the same boat because of our government’s provocative actions. He nodded in agreement." Ian Smith to Robert Mugabe on 9 July 1980

Never ever negotiate, it always leads to compromise and ultimately political defeat.
The alternative to negotiation was military defeat, and political defeat generally involves a lot less getting shot in the face than military defeat.

It's really unfortunate that it wasn't much of a transitional government.
