White Rage and Revenge in Rhodesia

At 5pm on 3 September Air Rhodesia Flight 825 took off from the Kariba Airport runway, and the passengers made themselves comfortable for their flight to Salisbury. The plane was packed full of families, especially families from Bulawayo. There was no direct flight from Kariba and so the most efficient way home was to head for Salisbury first. The flight had begun as normal, the Viscount was climbing well and air hostesses Dulcie and Brenda were already well into action and serving their 52 passengers.

Hans Hansen, a Dane, was the last to board the plane. He was heading to Bulawayo with his wife Diana to see some friends. For whatever reason, he just couldn’t shake the feeling that something was wrong, and he had a sinking feeling inside. His gut instinct was correct; down below, there was a ZIPRA missile team intently watching the plane. Their target, almost certainly, was General Peter Walls, but he was still down below at the airport.

As the plane passed overhead, the infrared eye of the missile launcher locked onto it, then, once the indicator lamp turned from red to green, the operator squeezed down on the trigger. The missile slammed into the wheel bay of the Hunyani, near the edge of engine number three...

On Tuesday morning, 5 September, the Herald ran the headline: ‘18 Live through Plane Crash Horror, Then… TERRORISTS KILL 10 SURVIVORS: Shot at Point Blank Range.’8 Every recollection of events from the time stresses the sheer level of rage, an almost indescribable rage that now swept the nation. The public wasn’t even precisely aware of how the plane had come down yet. When they found out it had been shot down by a ZIPRA missile team, the rage quickly turned into an insatiable desire for revenge.

After mugabe took power he brought in north korean military advisors and proceeded to genocide the other tribes in zimbabwe that supported his competitors. Funny it never made the news in USA, north korean troops murdering black africans. I guess it would only be newsworthy if it had been white troops.

Yuh. What an improvement. It’s honky-rein.

“Funny how Africans fear white reprisals after they commit atrocities.”

Just like South Africia, the international community screwed over the whites in the country and then it turned into a black run socialist hellhole. Before the 1970’s, Rhodesia was the breadbasket of Africia. After black rule, they couldn’t even feed themselves.

And it continues apace in the UK, Paris and numerous larger cities in the USA.
