Rhodesia - the building of a nation from the
wilderness
From the wilderness which existed at the time of Cecil John
Rhodes arrival, a vibrant new nation called Rhodesia was created. In less than
75 years this nation, created from nothing by toil and enterprise, became the
jewel of Africa, the most progressive and socially evolutionary country on the
African continent, until its tragic metamorphosis into the Republic of Zimbabwe
in 1980.

The
Lancaster House conference - London UK 1979
The infamous talks at which the new majority
ruled Zimbabwe - Rhodesia, was effectively sold to the Communist Terrorists, by the weak-willed
and naive new Prime Minister, Bishop Abel Muzorewa.
The war against terrorism
During the 1970īs a vicious bush war was
fought against Eastern bloc sponsored Communist terrorists, who were aided and supported by the
other Eastern bloc sponsored black African
'frontline' states. These terrorists were responsible for many savage atrocities against
both the black and white population of Rhodesia. Perhaps their most nausiating, and
cowardly action, among many such unspeakable terrorist acts, being the shooting down of two civilian airliners,
one in September 1978 and the other in February 1979, and the
consequent hacking to death and rape of crash survivors.
