OF DYAMIT.E by A Special Correspondent SALISBURY: Zimbabwe African People's Revolutionary forces (ZPRA) have turned the area stretching from Mana Pools to the Chirundu (Otto Beit Bridge) into a pot of dynamite feared and avoided by Smith's security and ommando forces.ZAPU's ZPRA freedom-fighters have now re- two kilometres when we were blown sorted to a new method of dealing with the fascist troops. The method has terribly demoralibed the Smith forces and caused a lot of alarm, fear and despondency among tourists and white settler civilians some of whom u.ed to spend weekends at the Lana -ools. ZPRA freedom-fighters have never been apprehended or seen since they began this new method whose main weapon is the settler-feared land-mine. One of these land-mine incidents occurred last May 15 when a vehicle with two settler picnickers-was blown 100 metres away from the road it was using leaving a two-metre wide crater in the middle of the road. According to one of the two men, Mr. James Sharp,the following is what actually happened:"We left Salisbury on a fishing spree on May 13. "We were two, that is my friend Sydney James Eskreet (a retired miner) who was killed in the blast and myself. "We reached the Mana Pools area where we stayed at Vundu Camp till May 15 when we decided to drive along a river road for about 15 km. "Ve had hardly travelled sKy-nlgn by a vioeun an V" explosion.I felt as if I was flying through the air.1 hen I came to, I was still intheIandRover's driver's seat.I looked around and saw that my companion was dead. ;I left the wrecked vehicle and walked back. to the Vundu Camp where I spent the night on top of a tree because there was nobody at the place. "The following morning I was taken to the Kariba hospital for medical treatment." Settler's Sharp's experience was said to be the fifth in the area.now terribly feared by whites. Last August 30 a white settler family detonated a land-iine in the same Mana - ools locality and the man, Maurice Ellement, was severely injured in the legs. On January 20 this year, a military truck set off another mine and two men were seriously injured.A similar incident occurred on March 22 some 20 km east of Lana Pools main camp.On May 9 a pump-house near the Chirundu Sugar Lstates was blown up by a powerful explosive charge which caused very great damage.At all the sites of the explosions, ZAPU leaflets were found near-by. Other blasts have occurred in the Victoria Falls Bridge region w1iere a train was derailed and a locomotive driver and his fireman were killed last year. z11i~hVmzm4 I&GE± T WU -R-,hlODBSINS AND MABS4-8ACRES by a Special Correspondent Salisbury- Following the excitement caused throughout the world by the inhuman and bloody massacre of at least 400 residents of ho ambique's Wiriamu's Village by Portuguese forces late last year, certain prominent British politicians and clergymen have --..---7j'-t __-in 7Ee 07e-h6-ikein expressed very strong feelings u es i v2_hl ickening against this dastardly Portu- crime because several months beguese crime aainst humanity. fore Father iiastings had written The former British premier the story in the London newspaand Labour Party leader, h1r. per, a number of priests had Harold Wilson, was one of been arrested and tried by a mimany Britons who voiced very litary court which gave two of vehement misgivings against the priests short jail terms or the incident and called the suspended sentences.

Southern Rhodesia into being.” —E. P. Thompson, THE MAKING OF THE ENGLISH WORKING CLASS Thousands of African men, women, and children worked on European- owned tobacco farms in colonial Zimbabwe from 1890 to 1945. Con- trary to some commonly held notions, these people were not mere bystanders as European capitalism penetrated into Zimbabwe, but helped to shape the work and the living conditions they encountered as they entered wage employment. Steven Rubert’s fine study draws on a rich variety of sources to il- a most promising weed luminate the lives of these workers. First he provides a brief history of tobacco growing in Zimbabwe, then examines the capitalization and a most promising weed physical layout of tobacco farms, the labor process on those farms, and the daily and seasonal forms of discipline European farmers de- veloped in their attempts to control the lives of their African workers. The central focus of the study is the organization of workers’ com- pounds, the social relationships there, and the labor of women and children, paid and unpaid. Rubert’s findings indicate the beginnings of HISTORY OF TOBACCO FARMING AND LABOR a moral economy on the tobacco farms prior to 1945. A Steven C.

    1953-1978 SPECIAL ISSUE TO MARK THE SIL VER JUBILEE ,_,,, . .,.....__ - OF THE SOCIETY MAY 1978 THOMAS MEIKLE, 1862-1939 The founder of the Meikle Organisation sailed from Scotland with his parents in 1869. The family settled in Natal where Thomas and his brothers John and Stewart gained their first farming ex­ perience. In 1892 the three brothers set off for Rhodesia with eight ox- wagons. Three months later they had completed the 700 mile trek to Fort Victoria. Here they opened a store made of whisky cases and roofed over with the tarpaulins that had covered their wagons. Progress was at first slow, nevertheless, branches were opened in Salisbury in 1893, Bulawayo and Gwelo in 1894, and in Umtali in 1897. From these small beginnings a vast network of stores, hotels, farms, mines and auxilliary undertakings was built up. These ventures culminated in the formation of the Thomas Meikle Trust and Investment Company in 1933. The success of these many enterprises was mainly due to Thomas Meikle's foresight and his business acumen, coupled with his ability to judge character and gather around him a loyal and efficient staff. His great pioneering spirit lives on: today the Meikle Organisation is still playing an important part in the development of Rhodesia. THOMAS MEIKLE TRUST AND INVESTMENT CO. (PVT.) LIMITED.

Doctoral Dissertations. 2342. https://opencommons.uconn.edu/dissertations/2342 From King Solomon to Ian Smith: Rhodesian Alternate Histories of Zimbabwe Edward Paul Guimont, PhD University of Connecticut, 2019 In the eleventh century CE, the Shona people of Central Africa built the city of Great Zimbabwe, an administrative center and royal home. Connected to the Indian Ocean gold trade, it would become the largest pre-colonial city in sub-Saharan Africa. However, due to environmental factors, it entered into decline and was ultimately abandoned by the start of the sixteenth century – the period in which the first Portuguese expeditions crossed the Cape of Good Hope and came in contact with the region. The fact that this city entered into decline just as Europeans encountered it set it up to become the center of a number of fantastical legends about its origins, typically linking it with the Biblical King Solomon and his gold mine of Ophir. Most prior studies of the “foreign builder hypothesis” have simply focused on the fact that white supremacist ideologies of colonial explorers and settlers tended to reject the idea that Africans could have built a city like Great Zimbabwe. This study instead focuses on how successive regimes in Central Africa (Arab, Portuguese, Afrikaner, British, Rhodesian, and Zimbabwean) approached the legend of Great Zimbabwe, and highlighted different aspects of it for their own political ends.
