The Rt Hon Ian Douglas Smith
Speaking about his long life and the Rhodesian situation
* IAN DOUGLAS SMITH OBITUARY *
|
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.
Rhodesia declared itself a republic on 2nd March 1970, cutting its long established ties to the British crown.

Important Rhodesian documentation 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. During the 1970's 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 sickening, 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.
