Your post #23.

Why? Its the Brits fault. They stabbed the Boers in the back.

Sadly I have no alternative but to agree with your statement. I was in Canada as an ex-pat Brit, when the struggle commenced for the then Rhodesia. I remember the demonstrations shown on television in London. How righteous and know it all were my fellow countryman. They all knew what was best for Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe.

I noted the progress of some of these protesters and one lives in a very neat, nice suburb of London. I daresay that if one looked out of place around there, a local Bobby would be called. They live in a Dickensian middle class enclave. Expensive residences force segregation, they will not admit that though.

Yet they helped thrust on the white Rhodesians a certain kind of regime. It became possibly worse than that which British people faced living in islands off France. These were occupied by German troops early in 1940. We know how the Germans behaved when those British islands of Jersey and Guernsey were occupied in WW2.

The BBC had to shut their mouths about it, for -well life went on there. Bad for the morale. A long ramble, but the protesters in another country ,find it easy to dictate what will not occur in their own country.

Wise, white Rhodesians would not allow Western owned mining companies to loot Rhodesia's vast mineral wealth, so the white leadership must be removed from power. Once the UK and US embargoed their goods and banned importation of military hardware, it was only a matter of time.

Now, these poor dumb bastards have Robert Mugabe and his tribe of henchmen that can't even feed themselves. Hell has a new address
