Oh Lord, why don't we - anymore?
I want to cry when I see this, we had probably the only happy multiracial country on earth until the shit-stirring thieves started to agitate. Very sad.
I was born and bred in Salisbury and loved Rhodesia. Consequently, I wanted Rhodesia to win the war, as did all my family. We, the whites, were the most content and patriotic section of Rhodesian society. Very few of us threw in our lot with ZANU or ZAPU. On the other hand, thousands of Shona and Matabele headed off into the bundu to fight against us. Finally, the Portuguese had more multi-racial societies in Angola and Mozambique.
@@glendodds3824 yes but we must never hate or be unkind to the many hundreds of thousands of good black people that fought with us. I do feel sad for them.
I fully agree with you
@@glendodds3824 i understand your pain and suffering
@@rajivshori Thank you Rajiv I appreciate your comment.
A great & nostalgic video. Hindsight is still a wonderful thing. The old adage of... "If a thing ain't broke, don't try and fix it" comes to mind. Things weren't perfect then, but today, things are very far from perfect 😐
African soldiers were very impressive.
Were 😔
Doesn't look very segregated to me. Everyone looks completely relaxed with each other.
Hi. If you went to the suburbs, government schools and hospitals, you would find segregation.
@@glendodds3824 I was born in Zimbabwe,
whites used to live in white only areas and blacks in townships or farms.
@@philemomnnakedi6190 That was the one big mistake the Rhodesians made. They repealed the Land Tenure act WAY too late. In fact it should never have existed.
What a time it was
nice seeing Chibayamoyo on parade
Yes the RAR look magnificent. The starch is so sharp you could cut yourself on it.
How stupid praising your oppressors pasi nevatengesi
@@conceretejungle1150

read 'Animal Farm'
Mugabe was Napoleon made real

I wonder, what happened to the black people, taking part in this ceremonies, after Mugabe came to power? Were they “forgiven” or were they persecuted?
Towards the end of the Rhodesia, most of the Rhodesian armed forces were black Africans, are very effective, loyal soldiers they were too. There is little evidence of their being persecuted after Mugabe came to power, especially as he used them to keep order, especially against rebellious Ndebele tribesmen.
@@Scotseasy These were card holding
members of Zanu, paying their membership fees with money earned from the army and police.

Interesting
Adelante Zimbawe
I dont see discrimination here africans where well represented in all ranks of gvt ......
How does discrimination look like in the picture.
Except for one thing they were helping the Rhdesians to be more racist
and create new economy which excluded black Zimbabweans
But not in parliament. The population was 94% black, but they only had a handful of seats in parliament. The whites were the majority in parliament. And there were segregated neighborhoods. The whites in the wealthy neighborhoods and the blacks in shabby neighborhoods. The whites owned most of the industry and property. It wasn't as bad as apartheid in South Africa. But Rhodesia was segregated nonetheless.
sad
who is the freak at 2.32 walking into the parliament - it looks like a mask but its his skin and it looks real evil
It's smith
@@conceretejungle1150 its not Smith , he would have been in the front and this guy is well to the middle of the pack = NOT SMITH that much is certain
@@karfomachet7265 the only devil i see who fits your description is that oppressor and racist Ian smith he killed many
@@conceretejungle1150 Smith enters the chamber at 2.24 so he simply is not in the picture at 2.32 which is what I was saying and smith does not have harf if face in patches . SO YOUR JUST WRONG
@@karfomachet7265 it's him smith the only evil unless u being racist like him
