What an amazing state it was - Rhodesia, I'm big fan of this small but splendid country that is no more. They fought bravely for 15 years, defending their right to rule their land how they see fit - which was the idea of a "responsible goverment" were voting rights were given based on person's property/income and education (regardless of the race), instead of the black majority "one man - one vote" rule which was pressed for by, basically, all of the rest of the world.
Once the jewel of the African continent, the breadbasket of South Africa, having strong diversified economy and the 1st world living standards, the country went down the shitter under the black majority rule in about 20 years. Disfunctional economy, disfunctional infrastructure, 90% unemployment rate, 1/3 of population is in exile, 1/2 of population is HIV infected, outbreaks of cholera and systematic political oppression.
Any real Rhodies on this board? Please tell us one of your infamous "when we were in Rhodesia" stories.
