EMBASSY OF THEAflI UNITED STATX OF, AMERICA FEB 19,4 IToRIA L ................. N2I IN I THE PMIlOUS STRUGGLE The strug le for the survival of setttlerism in S. Rhodesia is enterinC its most perilous st- Le. The only card left for them is their threat to declare unilateral independence. This also has value in so far as it has not been tried. Looking at. the general consequences objectively, such a step is as good as flying into the precipioe. What steps the settlers take to cling onto power is of concern to us in so far as our strategy in defeating them is possible, the rightness of our position and our determination to succeed is a fact most glaring to the settlers themslves hence their enxiety. This -eek Dupont, settler Minister of Law and Order has tuileashed his police to arrest hundreds of Africans in the hop-e of halting the tide that is about to sweep away sftlerism. He is unaware that by this step, he is openinG the ;ates for the flood to draw nearer its target. There is nothing new in these arrests, nor is there anything new in the Wha-Wha camp and of-course much moreso nothing new in the settler hopes for such mass arfests. lahVlha is Whitehead's monumaent of failure to stamp out African nationalism by mass arrests and ve just wonder what miracle Dupont hopes to produce by beating this threed-bare path. The 1nly mira2cle we can see is to bring temporaryOc3olation to the settler vopulation that is now overweig.hed by t'e oncoming take-over of power by the Africans. There is nevertheless an impoetant aspect to Dupont's move of arresting our people. His opening remarks are indicative; he says "since August 1964when a silit occurred in the African nationalist political world two mutually hostile national political organisations were set up." We the African people of Zimbabwe do not know of any two "national political organisations." There can only be one national organisation over the political interests of people. If there are two organisations purporting to serve a common interest only one can be genui e and national. There has never been any doubt as to the nationalentity of ZAYJ - barring oonfusionists.. Cont. Clearly Dupont is attempting a vell-timed political master-stroke of trying to project the image of a split in the African political circles despite the accomplished fact that ZANU has suffered a pblitical decay. We are in no doubt that Dupont's attempt to cripple ZAPU (POC) is yet another desperate effort to help poor Reverend Sithole to remain on the scene if only to retain the name ZANU in order to perpetuate the image of a split. PCC was banned from holding any public meeting of the 7th of November, 1963 for 3 months. The peoples national President Joshua Nkomo was simultaneously banned from addresing any gathering in the country. For three solid months ZANU had all S. Rhodesia to itself to organise and attraot the masoss. They failed. When the ban on PCC was~bout to expire early this month, February, Dupont extended the ban for another thee'months and simultaneously banned the "3oeple's national President Joshua Hkomo from moving near Salisbury or from entering African areas. Inspite of these measures the Rev. Sithole and his ZANU have failed to budge with the solid masses of Zimbabwe. They hrve then complained of intimidation and violence and requested Dupont to arrest all PCC organisers and the general African public whom they fear. This, hoever, does not help Sithole or whosoever supports him. We shall rout ruthlessly seterism and its agencies. (1) POLICE PROVOKE AGAIN - TEARGAS AT NKOMO'S HOUSE: In Bulawayo on February 9, the repressive and oppressive police forces of the Minister of Injustice, Law and Order, Clifford Dupont, used teargas shells to dis erse peaceful crowds which had gathered at the house of the Life President of the PCC (ZAPU), Mr. Ukomo, to sing and entertain their leader. The settler police, jealous as they are, forcibly tried to disperse these singing and chanting crowds. They threw tear :as shells without even telling the people to disperse. Some of the shells fell right at the door-steps of Mr. Nkono's house. The crowds, having been irritated by this savage and uncalled-for settler police action, ran arlk, grabbing one European constable and breaking his ar. When the police tried to make arrests, the riot theft spread all over the Bulawayo townships. There was serious stoning, in almost all the townshins in Bulawayo. No European-driven car had any chance of passing through the African townshps. Police reservists were kept running up and down, whistles replaced the usual church bells and police trucks were greeted with showers of stones fron the Africans. 'No priest could attempt leaving the church grounds, no stooge had any chance of drinking a pint of beer, everything was at a d.nger point. SALISBURY TOO ......... Because the settler p)olice in S. Rhodesia are competing for medals and ranks, because they have one thing in con:on - that of 'provoking the African in order to shoot hii', the Salisbury branch of the police force, after having learnt of the Bulawayo troubles, went around the Salisbury African townships of Harare and Highfields, provoking the people in the pubs. After this provocation, thenasses reacted sharply and stones were the ordcr of the day. In Harare, no European-driven car could ever pass throug;h the Ardbennie Road. Police jeeps were terribly snashed, windows shattered, police satellite stations attacked, and police reservists aribushed. Any inperialist business in Harare was destroyed completely. In Highfileds, police patrols were constant as the rioting spread from Harare. Beerhalls were de':erted, cars stoned, stooges frognarched. Stones replaced the swallows in that township. In the eveining of that same day, the field forces of Field were called in to help the police, helicopters and spotter planes buzzed in the cool breeze as smoke from the burnt buildings replaced the clouds4. As things worsened in both the Bulawayo and Salisbury African townships, the settler Minister of the ROTTEN Law and Disorder, Clifford Dupont was -anicing an nunablq, .-$il a .solution to it, CONT.. Because an idle brain is the Devil's workshop, Dupont's brain, mixed with ice-water as it is, was b~ing tempered with by the boer ancestors of whom Dupont is a descendant. He was drafting another order against our leader Mr. N1komo. He linked the Bulawayo disturbances and the Salisbury rioting with Mr. N1koyno, and then imposed a ban on him, prohibiting him from ad-ressing any gathering for another THRED MOI THS. T1{is ban on Mr. Nkomo is about the l1th if not the 12th irrposed on him in less thanitwo nonths. But we ;,ust say that despite all these savaoo and unrealistic bans imposed on our leader, our forces are marching forward and anyone wiho still believes in perpetual domination of the Africans, whether by usin- the -oolice or the Army, will learn the harsh lesson of history that you cannot oppress people without dire consequences to yourself. The more our leader is banned from being a person, the stronger our forces will be against any form of capitalism, inperialism and old and-new colonialism. We are not going to entertain settlerdom because the settlers have got guns.

Abstract This thesis uses evidence from British and international archives to examine the events leading up to Rhodesia’s Unilateral Declaration of Independence (UDI) on 11 November 1965 from the perspectives of Britain, the Old Commonwealth (Canada, Australia, and New Zealand), and the United States. Two underlying themes run throughout the thesis. First, it argues that although the problem of Rhodesian independence was highly complex, a UDI was by no means inevitable. There were courses of action that were dismissed or remained under explored (especially in Britain, but also in the Old Commonwealth, and the United States), which could have been pursued further and may have prevented a UDI.

  • Flag of Defiance – the International Use of the Rhodesian Flag Following Udi
    FLAG OF DEFIANCE – THE INTERNATIONAL USE OF THE RHODESIAN FLAG FOLLOWING UDI BRUCE BERRY University of Pretoria ([email protected] ; +27 82 909 5829) Abstract The international response to Rhodesia’s Unilateral Declaration of Independence (UDI) was to proclaim the colony to be in a state of rebellion, the government in Salisbury to be illegal, and to request the United Nations to apply sanctions against the ‘rebel regime’. The ensuing political impasse resulted in the need to promote a more distinctive national identity and the symbols to reflect this newfound independence. The first, and most obvious, change came with the adoption of a new national flag on the third anniversary of UDI on 11 November 1968. As the most visible symbol of post-UDI Rhodesia, the international use and display of the new flag became the subject of demonstration and controversy. This paper shows how the green and white Rhodesian flag came to highlight Rhodesia’s contested statehood when flown outside the country during the UDI period. Rhodesia’s new flag became a symbol of the country’s defiance, and the emotion it evoked, and continues to evoke, causes controversy even to this day. Keywords: Rhodesia, symbols, flags 1 1. INTRODUCTION After years of fruitless negotiations on the issue of independence, at 11 a.m. on 11 November 1965 (the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month) Rhodesian Prime Minister Ian Smith and his Cabinet signed a Proclamation of Independence from the British Parliament, whilst retaining loyalty to the person of the Monarch as the Queen of Rhodesia.1 The immediate response by the British Government to this Unilateral Declaration of Independence (UDI) was to proclaim Rhodesia to be in a state of rebellion, the Government in Salisbury to be illegal and to request the United Nations to apply sanctions against the ‘rebel regime’.

  • Enactment of New Constitution Bill and Related Legislation. - British Government's Reaffirmation of Sanctions Policy
    Keesing's Record of World Events (formerly Keesing's Contemporary Archives), Volume XVII, February, 1970 Rhodesia, Page 23810 © 1931-2006 Keesing's Worldwide, LLC - All Rights Reserved. Enactment of New Constitution Bill and Related Legislation. - British Government's Reaffirmation of Sanctions Policy. - Rhodesian Espionage Trials. - Other Developments. Following the result of the referendum of June 20, 1969, on the Smith regime's proposals for a Republic and a new Constitution [see 23474 A], the Rhodesian Legislative Assembly passed in November 1969 four Bills, including the Constitution Bill proper. Mr. Smith had told the Legislative Assembly on Sept. 3 that there would be no formal declaration of a Republic and that in any case the new status could not come into effect until the electorate had accepted the proposed Constitution at a general election, which would probably be held early in 1970. The regime, he added, had considered proclaiming Nov. 11, the anniversary of U.D.I., as Republic Day, but this had been rejected because that day was already an Independence Day holiday. However, from 1970 Republic Day would be observed as a holiday on the second last Monday in October. The Constitution Bill, published on Sept. 11, while incorporating the basic White Paper proposals of May 21 [see 23474 A], provided in addition that the Head of State and Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces would be a President appointed by the Cabinet for not more than two five-year terms with limited constitutional powers. Mr. Lardner-Burke (Minister of Justice and Law and Order), moving the Bill's second reading on Oct.

  • A Country Held Captive by Its Past: the Case of Zimbabwe
    Ekonomia — Wroclaw Economic Review 24/1 (2018) Acta Universitatis Wratislaviensis No 3832 DOI: 10.19195/2084-4093.24.1.9 Olga Kraśniewska University of Wroclaw [email protected] A country held captive by its past: The case of Zimbabwe Date of submission: 20th of March 2018; date of acceptance: 15th of May 2018 JEL Classification: A10, E31, F54, N37, O55 Keywords: Zimbabwe, colonialism, land reform, hyperinflation, Robert Mugabe, crisis Abstract A country held captive by its past: The case of Zimbabwe The article provides an overview of the history of Zimbabwe in the context of economical, structural and social factors. It tries to answer a question, what were the main reasons that affected Zimbabwe’s development after gaining independence in 1980. It describes pre-colonial and colonial times as well as president Mugabe’s era, that ended with a military coup in November 2017. It portrays issues such as the after-effect of colonialism, land reform, political regime, internal struggles and conflicts between the ruling party ZANU-PF and opposition parties, hyperinflation crisis, as well as economic indicators like GDP, public and external debt, level of education and health care. In the context of upcoming elections in 2018, the article deliberates whether meaningful changes in the country’s situation are possible in the nearest future and what it will take to achieve them. To understand the present, one has to know the past Undoubtedly, the history of a given country is inextricably linked to the people that govern it. Zimbabwe is quite unusual in this respect. From the moment it gained independence from the white rule until November 2017, Zimbabwe was practically governed by only one major political party — ZANU PF, led by Robert Gabriel Mugabe.

January 8 Johannesburg Star An editorial: "In short, Rhodesia faces the rest of the world. Her chances of success axe ast disappearing and at some point gallantry will become stubbornnoss and courage to endure will mean only economic ruin for the country. At some point patrio tism will not mean struggling on but facing realities, bitter though they may be, and returning to a path of constitutional government which, Mr. WTilson has assured the world, does not mean an early African majority." January 15 Johannesburq Star Santion timetable Mr. wilson, speaking in Lusaka, said that the Commonwealth leaders decision to wait six months before meeting again was not a time limit, but a time table for the effect of sanctions in Rhodesia.

A country is not predestined toward democracy or dictatorship. Rather, there are multiple complexities throughout a country’s history that need to be addressed in order to assess what led to the nation’s current state of affairs. ZANU-PF is currently the ruling party of Zimbabwe and it has been since the country’s independence in 1980. Although the country is constitutionally democratic, Robert Mugabe ruled the country for nearly thirty years, only to be ousted in a military coup. Mugabe oversaw a number of questionable policy moves and guided the country through constitutional reform wherein he was able to secure more power.

    de LA rHodésie Au ZimbAbwe 18 AvriL 1980 Dans le processus de décolonisation du continent africain, la Rhodésie a constitué jusqu’à l’indépendance du Zimbabwe un cas tout à fait à part. D’abord habité par des Bochimans, le pays est peuplé à partir du VIe siècle par les Shonas, groupe de tribus parlant des langues très proches, d’origine bantoue. Ils succèdent à des éleveurs bochimans et créent de grands royaumes d’éleveurs, riches en minerais d’or et de cuivre (Zimbabwe (1) jusqu’au XVe siècle, puis Mo- nomatapa jusqu’à l’arrivée des Anglais). Ils nous sont connus par les récits des Portugais qui faisaient le commerce de l’or avec les ports de l’Océan indien, et furent les premiers colons. En 1830, le Sud et l’Ouest du plateau shona sont envahis par une ethnie zou- lou de tradition très guerrière, les Ndebele. Puis Britanniques et Boers du Trans- vaal se disputent le contrôle du territoire par une politique de traités avec les chefs locaux. Cecil Rhodes prend Paul Kruger de vitesse. Fondateur et président du groupe de production de diamant De Beers, puis premier ministre de la pro- vince britannique du Cap, il a une grande ambition : conquérir de nouveaux ter- ritoires au profit de la Couronne, étendre à l’Afrique noire l’empire de Victoria, implanter des colons le long d’une ligne ferroviaire qui relierait Le Cap au Caire. Sur proposition du premier ministre lord Salisbury, une charte royale crée en 1889 la British South Africa Company (BSAC), société commerciale de droit privé, dotée de considérables prérogatives de puissance publique.

  • The Presbyterian Church of Southern Africa and Its Reformed Influence on the Socio-Political and Economic Development of Zimbabwe (1890–1990)
    Article The Presbyterian Church of Southern Africa and its Reformed Influence on the Socio-Political and Economic Development of Zimbabwe (1890–1990) David Mushayavanhu https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3954-4630 University of Pretoria, South Africa [email protected] Jerry Pillay University of Pretoria, South Africa Faculty of Theology, Department of Church History and Church Polity [email protected] Abstract The second half of the 19th century was characterised by the spread of Christian ethos in Southern Africa. This state of affairs also permeated the Zimbabwean soil, and in the Presbyterian Church of Southern Africa in Zimbabwe (PCSA) missionaries disseminated Reformed teachings, among other things, to proclaim the gospel of Christ. This article argues that Presbyterian teachings influenced the socio-political and economic development of Zimbabwe. It is a historical analysis illustrating how Reformed theological perspectives influenced the socio-political and economic development of Zimbabwe through the work of the PCSA. It is not the intention of this article to get into theological debates but to show the impact of Reformed influences, mainly through John Calvin, on the expansion of Presbyterianism in Zimbabwe. Keywords: Presbyterian Church of Southern Africa (PCSA); Reformed influence; socio- political and economic development; Zimbabwe Introduction This article attempts to show that Presbyterianism is linked to the socio-political and economic progress of Zimbabwe. It is an undertaking from a Reformed theological perspective with special emphasis on the PCSA in Zimbabwe’s missio-hominum. Reformed tradition has had a large impact on the world since the 16th century Reformation, and it has also had a bearing on the PCSA, which is part of the Reformed family.
