Saw a film of him getting off a plane, at the top of steps, he waved his hanky and shout "we Will Crush the whites"

Congo 1959-onwards. I was kicked off my mine in Bulawayo by people who had worked for me for 20 years

A wonder why and how the guy who first taught sculpture left the farm, leaving everyone else getting successful.

I could not finish watching this interview, the simplistic, narcissistic, condescending, narrow views of challenges of Africa before and after independence is sickening ,

Hi Steve, you’ll be happy to hear that Ruzawi School is still one of the finest junior Schools in the Country, if not the best. The traditions haven’t changed, and yes they still have the Polo Bear winter swim & the meals served to pupils are second to none, (not sadza & relish as you said,) The teas served to parents at the many sports events held at the school are also first class. It would be worth your time to visit your old school if you are ever in the area, you’ll be nightly impressed I’m sure.

It didn’t happen, here we. I just want to see a black Zimbabwean, second what that Guy is saying. Soon there’s going to be very few of them left. It’s sad to know, that the Harold Wilson and his cohort couldn’t see sense in what Iain Smith was aiming to achieve in Zimbabwe for all races, both on merit with a few biases here and there. For all the years I spent in Rhodesia, I was never subjected to any direct racist encounters on the street by a white person. Rhodesia was not like South Africa. I am glad I was moved to Rhodesia early and got good Primary education there. Proper sanctions were in place, Rhodesia engineering went into overdrive. Nothing was wasted, recycling of paper, overhauling engines, retreading tyres, I can go on. You could safely drink water from a Park or Public Toilet too. One man One vote was a slogan used by Nationalists, not bad idea, if every voter understands the value of their ballot. “ White voters, they could vote if they mate the criteria, one which was , one has to own a rateable property or earn over £600.00 per year. Blacks who owned property were allowed to vote. They didn’t participate because of the fear of being labelled sell outs. Marandellas aka Marondera, “ Mere Estate housing for Farm Workers matched those in Cities. Schools around Marandellas, Ruzawi, Peterhouse , Diggleford and Waddilove for the blacks. Remember Holiday Allowance, when you were going on Holiday with a Passport that allowed travel to Malawi and South Africa . Need a British passport, go and get it from Botswana .

Can relate to your stories, my Grandfather had a Tobacco farm in the Kenya highlands, he went thru the horrors of the Mau Mau in the early 1950's , he was one of the lucky few that had close calls & lived.
