A lot of the Rhodesian farmers relocated to Zambia and Mozambique where they were actively recruited by the national government to produce badly needed food the locals just weren’t up to growing. The farmers put conditions on their relocation, however, only short-term leases on the land, no ownership and a quick escape route in case things turn sour. Mugabe has done very well in all this, he is a major league thief who has squirreled billions abroad, a typical “communist” first among equals with an emphasis on the “first”.
Several families of Rhodesian farmers move to the Houston area too. One of them lived next door to my brother. They had some scary stories to tell.
