"Indeed Roly! The absurdity of NIBMAR and Wislon's attitude towards Southern Rhodesia was an utter scandal."
Oh come on! The utter scandal was the elitist white minority rule in a land that enabled a small white minority to grow enormously wealthy on tobacco cultivation whilst denying even the most basic democratic rights to the vast majority of the population merely because of the colour of their skin.
It has undoubtedly been ruined, that is so true, but it was the ludicrous UDI and racist policies that created the vacuum that allowed Mugabe to do what he has done.
