Z IMBiABX, EBEVIEW PAGE ONE JULY 28,1973. .POT. 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.

J LY. 2A,197. Lk In september l971,Rhodesian and Portu;uese f rces carried out a joint terror Paid against the Karopora and Buzo areas and killed and mutilated at least hree boys and one head of a village.Their feet and hand, s were cut off by the idouesian and Portuguese brutes. On September 5 the same year, Rhodesian troops made a machine-gun aibush at Singa Village and killed seven members of one family. The murdered people 'were an old man, his son, dakughter, two daughters-in-law and two babies.The corpses were put into a huge fire which left only charred skeletons. These and many others .re only a glimpse as ,orse barbarities by -lhodesian and Portuguese troops are committed far away from the eyes of peopb with the means and capabilities to report them to the outside world. Villages are put on fire very frequently in both Limbabwe and 1,oiambique by both Portuguese and Aihodesian fascists. The atrocities are not reported in Portugal because there is a law xhich prohibits the publicising or discussion of troubles and similar matters pertainin6 to Portugal's African colonies.The already ignorant PorLuguese masses are left in even a worse form of ignorance by this denial of very important nowledge of bloody barbarities comImitted by their fellow-Portuguese against innoncent ",fricans thousands of miles away from Portugal. As for the British, there is a subdued feeling of contentment and elation about what mith is meting out to the unarmed black people oi Zimbabwe. harol' Wilson refused flatly to use military force against bmith even when bouth 1tfrican troops virtually took over the security of the country.They -re still ii Rhodesia.Harold .ilson and Lord Caradon an Lord Geeford become dumb v'hen asked about that issue which is a direct British responsibility. The atrocities coriiitted by the Rhodesiarn murderers in the rural areas, the robberies they coAmit against the Airican masses in broad day-light; the scores of callous murders they have committed in zaabia aainst even harmless civilians are matters which can be i.-nored by only the most ignoble hum~n deenerate. Harold Wilson, Lord Caradon and Lord Geeford say they abhor and condemn Portuguese fascism and colonialism.rhe same gentlemen are virtually mute over Rhodesia which is inextricably a London responsibility and creation. There are three possible explanations to this peculiar behaviour.One is that those who condemn Caetano s T'itlerite murders in .c ;abique, Angola and &uineaBissau and not Smith's in 16iodesia and ~io. ambique are hypocrites, the second is that they are tasteless opportunists,the third is that they, are kith and kin :ania(s. THREE Lu'vi-I-A' ziAB EvE A E FOUR JULY 28, 1973. THE IAN SNITH DiLU21Ao John James ,rathal, the Rhodesia settler regime's Deputy Premier and 1inister of Finange and Posts, on the 19th of July 1973 - the rcist clique's Budget Day - lamented the shortage of new mercenary recruits from he traditional sources of Australia, Canada etc. lHe blamed the governments of these countries for threatening their citizens with withdrawal of citizenship for those who volunteer to be mercenaries in Rhodesia. But this was far from the truth as he later admitted that there was a marked drop in the flow of immigrants. lie said last year alone, 6690 immigrants were registered and 4530 emmigrants left the country for more tolerable places of making easy life. There was also a 20 o drop in tourist inflow during the last financial year, which he alledged was caused by the closure of the Rhodesia-Zambia border. The next day, the so-called ecretary of Internal Affairs also complained of the shortage of new recruits for the British South Africa Police (1SAP) which is the settler regime's police force. He was confirming what had been published earlier by the OThPOST, the BSAP Magazine, and ,LLPHOLISA, the black member only BSAP 1M1agasine. These Magazines had said there were more constables leaving the Force than the corresponding inflow of recruits. The current realities of the state of affairs in racist lhodesia is the sole cause for the settler dictatorship's predicament. Both the Police Force and the mercenary bandits lost a big number of their personnel last year and it is by no mere coincidence that these casualties were caused by the ZAPU military wing - in full Z.2,R.i. - guerrillas' landmines beginning mid-last year 1972. As a rule, mercenaries are bloodthirsty fascist bandits, who -ill not stand any situation that does not provide them the opportunity for coldblooded murder. The Z°2.R.A.Is is a weapon they dread, Il[ercenaries enjoy killing but are not prepared for death. They want to kill for money - for they kill in order to make quick money. This is the cause for the shortage of mercenary recruits for the settler Armed Porces. The war of liberation does not discriminate. Soldiers or policemen who continue to torture and murder innocent DimbabWeans whose only crime is to demand freedom in the country of their birth, get their own prize. Those policemen and soldiers who persue or hunt for guerrillas are .ictims of landmines and the volley of the patriot's guns. Now that new people are refraining from joining the forces of evil, ..... continued on PAGE SEVEN.

ZIMBABVWEREVIEW PAGESEVEN JULY28,1973. THE IAN SMITH'S DILE1/Ao (continued from PAGE FOUR) it means that sense is beginning to enter into some of them. What has brought this sense is the ever escalating war of liberation now being waged by Z.PoR.A. forces in Zimbabwe. Immigrants are fortune seekers. They have left their countriee for new ones in order to make quick-money and enjoy their cheaply acquired riches. In guerrilla infested land, a land of landmines and of a people that has resolved to rout once and forever its oppressors, immigrants find the situation far being ideal and they leave. The same applies to tourists. They come to spend their holidays under relaxed conditions but not in explosive Rhodesia of the white settler and minority clique of Ian Smith. 'Wrathal made this clear ohen he said that the government had set aside one million Rhodesian dollars for internal security especially for improving communications, building administrative posts and for the removal of the African population from their traditional places in the border areas. This is in addition to four million Rhodesian dollars announced on June 13, 1973 by , the regime's so-called Minister of Internal Affairs on the alledged development of border regions below the Zambezi Escarpment. All these steps are meant to develop and strengthen the regime's crippled anti-guerrilla activities. The settler regime has nobody to blame but itself for its dilemma. Immigrants and tourists have dropped and emmigrants increased because there is no internal security for them in desperate 'Rhodesia'. The national war of liberation is escalating and it will continue until victory. As for the soldiers and policemen - those resigning or retiring - whatever they choose and those refraining from joining the forces of evil, the reason is the futility of defending the moribound settler colonialism. The fundamental element of our revolution is the real liberation of our people - a liberation that will be brought about through armed revolution in most cases and which shall be, in our Africa, almost indefectibly, a Socialist Revolution. THE REVOLUTION CONTINUES!
