@ Joe Morgan Great stuff!
Feel free to talk for ages. We shall listen.
Sir your voice will grow tired long before my ears will! Keep your history coming as long as you see fit! God Bless you as well.
You’ve put a grin on my face that will stay all day!
Rhodesians never die because of work like yours - thank you!
Always a great pleasure to see you Martin and to listen to another fascinating episode about Rhodesian history. I am old, I am old-school Cornish, and as such I 'see things as they really are,' in regards to English foreign policy. Such a disgrace that Carrington and Thatcher, amongst others, reneged and allowed Rhodesia to become the sad place that is now Zimbabwe. My Cornwall is now a, 'Little England-on-sea'. A far cry from a very proud place that once respected it's Celtic history, ancestors and roots. Anyway Martin, keep dry and warm. Stay in peace.
Good to get back to the history. Your series on this is better than any history book, especially the modern nonsense that's written about Africa and colonization.
And like many of the other comments, I can only say that no matter how long you carry on for, you'll always have a good sized audience!
As an east european,an a well seasoned globe traveller,i was lucky enough to go to S Africa a few times(and some countries in Africa,including Angola,Ghana,Nigeria and others)- pity i saw her at this stage,after the sav**ges control it. They will turn it to dust,like it was before the Euros came.I am a huge admirer(fanatic quite) at the people who created those civilizations there,and i fell in love with Afrikaner accent.It's the coolest there is. All the Afrikaners i met,worked with,were top-shelf; Haven't met any Rhodesians,although i can say for sure they are at least the same level of amazing. One thing bugs me though,what does a Rhodesian accent sounds like? Is this gentleman having one?
Sounds like a Afrikaner-ish,to my untrained ears?!
Some books on Rhodesia are written by liberal or left wing academics who are biased against Rhodesians. On the other hand, some books on Rhodesia are written by people who are biased against South Africa and give the impression that Rhodesia had nothing in common with South Africa.

Our ~3 hr commute to mountain vacation made shorter as we listen to these tales as we drive. The kids are 10 and 13yos and love them, we even pull up maps tp follow. Thank you, the boys want to visit soutern africa and I'm all with them on that. Thank you so so much!
Hey there... greetings from a sunny evening in Germany.....here we are waiting for Summer 😎👍
The only thing worse that a rainy day, is a hot rainy day. I’ll admit I’ve never been to Cape Town, so maybe the cold weather there really is unbearable. But I have lived in Alaska, and Alabama, and I must say that I prefer the former.
In my area we average 7 inches of rain a year which isn't much unless your the day we get it.
I spent time in Georgia as well as Washington state, California and Korea. I will take whatever rain I can get.
Love Bama, our weather sucks during summer tho
Now we really know where the term cash cow originated. So delightful, so educational too, to listen to your tales!
The Rhodesian Bush War of the 1960s and 70s was a re-run of the Matabele and Shona rebellions of 1896. Some of the blacks who joined ZANLA and ZIPRA would have grown up hearing their grandparents recall events from the rebellions and they likewise decided to fight against Rhodesia.
@32:30 A very fair assessment of Rhodesia and the great people that once called the it home 💚👍
I have been waiting for this day for nine months.
Thank you Sir
I feel bad for you! Sitting on my front porch here in Tennessee today and it’s 75degrees F and not a cloud in the sky
What a natural and honest delivery. Thanks for your perspective.
Always excellent stories cheers mate
Thank you so much for making these videos, and for telling these stories that so many of us would have never known otherwise. Keep up the good work Martin, God bless you, and may good weather return to Cape town soon.
In my opinion 34 mins wasn't enough. Don't worry about the length. I could listen to you for hours.
Fantastic story telling 👏
What an incredible wealth of knowledge! Thank you so much for taking the time to record, edit and share this for our viewing pleasure!
Evening Martin, about time my friend
Good to see you again Martin
Cheers
Haha for once we have it better in the UK! Beautiful day here 😁
Hope you're all well down south!
Thank you for uploading these! they always make my day:)
Very happy to see you again!
Very insightful.
Good to see you again Martin!
Very interesting as usual
Was Rinderpest new to Africa at the time? That would have doubled up on the resentment, because they could easily correlate the new disease with the arrival of the BSA company, assume it was their doing, and connect it with the reparations and shootings.
I can listen a lot longer........good wisdom
Winter has arrived in Sydney today. Westerlys are blowing hard. interesting dy sailing tomorrow
I was just wondering about when you'd publish a new video, great to hear more about Rhodesian History
Thanks so much for your thoughts and accounts, sir, and always appreciated far more than you may be aware.
Another great video on rhodesian history
Thanks for all your hard work and time you put into these videos. Your personal stories and knowledge are so valuable to anyone studying this war.
We don't mind if you talk to much brother! What you talk about is very interesting.
A Harold Geddes Alias "Moose" was at school with Helen,
Brilliant as always. Thank you.
Thank you Martin, another great show.
Okay what I’m about to ask is gunna tick some people off but here it is, would you say life in South Africa was better during the Apartheid or afterwards. Any South African can chime in
War cost human lifes but make billions to the industry.

You can see the things described there time and time again.
Especially in regards to statements and acts from the left sinde of the political spectrum.
Sadly this type of economy warfare was not confined to Africa as “they” did almost the same thing to the native Americans with the buffalo
