peacefullmonk lol...who said we are starving ....

justin leckey it wasn't yours still was it ....We have our own ways of feeding ourselves without you fuckers in it...and we like it just the way it is you pig

Then you are Rhodesian, never forget. Maybe return will be possible some day.

+Tornado2908 Far from. Within the Decade you could see a shade of hope for a New Rhodesia.

@@thebottomofthebarrel4836 elaborate

Tyler Brennon The politically correct bullshit way out instead of growing a pair the politician lauded down and gave everything away.

Which brother was he? Cecil had 7 after all.

So Mr Rhodes was your Great Great Great Uncle.

How the fuck is a country built by europeans a symbol of hope to the rest of sub saharan Africa? Only if it was built by sub saharans to show the rest of the neighbors countries and the world it would be a symbol and evidence it could be done. If anything botswana and rwanda are the real symbol of hope.

Can't dispute what you say NZ!

Mate, I hear you. I increasingly find myself more patriotic towards what we were, rather than what we've become. I believe in the same things my grandparents did, more than the things my siblings believe in. Theres 10 years between me and my younger sister, 11 years between me and my younger brother, but ideologically it might as well be 100 years. There is a saying; "Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, weak men create hard times". And I think its 100% true. I was raised believing it was right to support those that stood beside you in times of strife. Now they're raised to believe its right to support whatever makes your life easier. Its sad and lonely to feel like a dinosaur at age 39. I feel closer and more akin to the men that fought for Rhodesia and the commonwealth when I was barely a year old than I do to those that enjoy the fruits of such struggles now. My race doesn't come into it, but my place as part of the family that was our commonwealth does.

@fred smith I 100% agree with you; their cause WAS just. Their tactics weren't. And had Smith's govt been allowed to continue its program we would have a modern Zimbabwe where all can vote, but it would have retained a cohesive and comprehensive stable and secure economy and society. The concept of responsible majority rule is one of education and gradual measured change; it takes longer but always yields better results in the long run, for everyone. Violent revolution has never yielded good results in human history. Mostly because the change happens with both sides still full of resentment, hate and a desire for revenge. These are not good ingredients for successful progress. I pray that with the recent change in leadership that Ian Smith's eventual dream of a united, equal and prosperous Zimbabwe may finally be realized.

Too Fred Smith may i ask have you read animal farm? All animals are equal! As the revolution begun. After the revolution. All animals equel some more equal then others! Pigs like Mugabe did great the sheep dogs doing his bidding putting down rebellion were doing ok. The farm yard horse retired to the glue factory. Nothing has changed in Zimbabwe one pig has replaced another and the worker will be put down. The farm has gone to ruin, education infrastructure law and order health care are no match now for what was Thriving Rhodesia! Also the miltary standards for letting lose fire arms on annoyed voters is somewhat below that expected of any tinpot dictorship from a seventies south American banana republic!

a gradual integration of Africans into eventually running the country would have been a far cleaner and more successful way to have a majority rule in my opinion. However even with the rushed change Mugabe should never have taken the country, it's a sad thing that so many Zimbabwe/Rhodesians have suffered due to actions of outside countries both UN and USSR and an internal struggle that escalated to brutality.

Hate to break it to ya love, but "these people" decided to go it alone. UDI - look it up babe. Only silly people blame others for their mistake. Hugh mistake as it turned out...

Nicola Taylor 'babe'

socialist commie lovers, that's who did it! Sadly they are even in the west and have been for quite a while, as they intended to infiltrate western governments as they have- all for the New Socialist Liberal Leftist Commie One World Rule Government, which has the intention and idea to do just that- rule the world as one socialist commie government.

Sadly as a Brit, I agree, theres even a line in Rhodesians never die where they say how the British reinforced the sanctions and trade rules leaving Rhodesia without support and materials to even maintain themselves

I'd never seen a thot and a terr before combined into one. First time for everything...

nail on the head !!! I feel the same

same dude.

yeah I was born 1988, so I know the feeling

yeah, die in a lost cause. A worthless cause. Nothing better to do with your life?

Nicola Taylor Hell yeah dude, I would do it so I don't have to see it turn into Zimbabwe, the starving shithole.

Thank you Ian...I salute your service!😊

why hasn't someone done it yet

Done and done. :D

SCREW COMMUNISM

Don't worry Rocky his time is up now, unfortunately it look like the man who has taken over is equally as bad if not worse . Never say never. This is Africa.

Yes, the freedom fighters were true heroes in taking on armoured cars, jet fighters, helicopter gunships etc armed only with an AK47 and a desire to be free.

@@shibuya3185 I call BS...your "freedom fighters" mostly tortured and murdered the povo to gain support - and ran when they encountered the Rhodesian Security Forces.

@@tprdfh51 : Of course they ran. They had automatic weapons whilst the racists had armoured cars, helicopter gunships, jet fighters and bombers etc. Wouldn't you?

Why thank you...and they were very good tanks if I do say so - salute!

Hate to break it to ya, but Rhodesia is dead LOL :)

jayhuegan do not blame the blacks, the RAR, Rhodesian African rifles fought died and bled amongst their white brothers. Blacks accounted for 80% of all Rhodesian soldiers yet the RAR was entirely volunteer, you want to blame someone, blame the communists/ globalists who killed Rhodesia and left her for dead.

Sorry, Rhodesia declared independence. Can't blame mummy.

Nicola Taylor you're a child lmao

Nicola you are indeed naive. Never mind you shall be a minority in your own country shortly then ponder on history.

Nicola Taylor After the first and second world war's Rhodesia had provided more troops and lost more troop's fighting for the crown! Provided Rhodes scholarships to those world leader's who voted sanctions against Rhodesia yet they were eager to squander over the mineral's within the country!

Pete Goode Just the English Rhodesians, the British won't go quietly into that good night.

So true that comment!

Danke!
