    Back in the 60s National Geographic put out an addition on Rhodesia. They called it the Switzerland of Africa because it was the queen of Africa, the absolute shining example for what the continent could become, and then, of course, the ignorant locals supported the communist and communist ruin everything.

    I had a friend who had to go to Salisbury just after the communist takeover and she could not get near the government building to do her business. The stench was horrifying. She couldn’t figure out what it was. She thought it was dead bodies riding in the sun She put a handkerchief over her face and tried to breathe through her mouth it turns out the locals had taken over the government building and loaded it with chickens They brought their chickens with them, and you can imagine the chickens shitting on the lawn and the smell in the hot sun, but that’s the mentality of the locals

    White people built an amazing civilization ❤ with a stable currency, a thriving economy, plenty of industry manufacturing and agriculture, railroads schools, hospitals, paved streets, airports, universities, plenty of water, lots of electricity and air conditioning, fully stocked grocery store shelves plenty of petrol at all the filling stations no trash on sidewalks no graffiti on the buildings and then everything suddenly collapsed. I wonder what happened

    What do you mean Zambia never had any trouble ? 😂 Zambia is still crippled with horrific unemployment, violent crime, black market drugs, lack of basic essentials of life, transportation shortages, and very few school opportunities. Zambia is currently ranked 96 in the economic complexity index way behind South Africa and we know how badly South Africa has crumbled, in the last few years in Zambia, the declining copper prices continue to plague the economy, crippling fiscal deficit energy shortages, and the number one cause of death remains HIV infection. They are plagued with malaria, tuberculosis and soul, crushing poverty, ensuring the premature deaths of millions of Zambians.

Now look at the state of things , the corruption and irresponsible government and management of Zimbabwe has destroyed a beautiful productive economy and created divisions in the communities , but the people of the country are still a good people and have suffered greatly under the Zimbabwe run governments .

There was never any significant threat from the local civilian population to Europeans, even though there was resentment from the better educated. It required a spell of exile, African Nationalist education, and training and weaponry from outside to escalate the situation to bloodshed - bloodshed which could have been headed off by earlier concessions.

    Up till the 1970's, the white man ruled with an iron hand over a vast area of Africa. Angola, South West Africa, Rhodesia, Mozambique and South Africa covered an area of 1,794,989 square miles. The number of whites in that enormous area numbered about five million. Europe has an area of 3,930,000 square miles with about seven hundred and forty million people. By 1994 the white man had lost all that territory, save for a tiny town in the Northern Cape called Orania, where about three thousand Afrikaners live . There were far too few whites in Africa to suppress the enormous black majority over such a vast area, and the white man's resistance to change reflected his stupidity..
