The History of the Use of Bacteriological and Chemical Agents During Zimbabwe’S Liberation War of 1965–80 by Rhodesian Forces
Third World Quarterly, Vol 23, No 6, pp 1159–1179, 2002 The history of the use of bacteriological and chemical agents during Zimbabwe’s liberation war of 1965–80 by Rhodesian forces IAN MARTINEZ ABSTRACT In 1979 the largest recorded outbreak of anthrax occurred in Rhodesia, present day Zimbabwe. The incident, widely known in Africa and in intelligence circles is not widely known in the USA or Europe. At the time Rhodesia was fighting a guerilla war against black nationalist insurgents. Rhodesia first accused the nationalist side of using anthrax as a weapon. In allegations that surfaced in 1998—and which persist to this day—external researchers and the current government of Zimbabwe insist that the outbreak in 1978–80 was anything but benign. They argue that the original outbreak was the result of a calculated move by the Rhodesian government with the duplicitous acknowledgment of apartheid South Africa. Furthermore, the government alleges that a current outbreak is the work of disgruntled white farmers in the country. The allegations over the 1979–80 outbreak are given credence by the acknow- ledgement by Ken Flower, Chief of Rhodesia’s Central Intelligence Organisation (CIO), and by CIO Officer Henrik Ellert that the white minority regime of Ian Smith used biological and chemical weapons against the guerillas, against rural blacks to prevent their support of the guerillas and against cattle to reduce rural food stocks. The current government and researchers have drawn inferences from his statements to show that the unusual outbreak in

Bush Tracking and Warfare in Late Twentieth-Century East and Southern Africa
Historia 59, 2, November 2014, pp 229-251 Bush tracking and warfare in late twentieth-century east and southern Africa Tim Stapleton* Introduction Tracking is the ability to pursue and close with an animal or human by following signs, commonly called spoor which is an Afrikaans word, left behind in the environment. These include footprints, disturbed vegetation, evidence of feeding, biological waste, sounds and smells. Experienced trackers use the appearance of these signs to determine the direction of their subject’s movement and the approximate age of spoor which indicates how far ahead in time and space the subject is. Tracking requires a thorough familiarity of the geography, climate and ecology of a specific locale. It also involves a great deal of informed speculation that allows a tracker who loses a trail to imagine the most likely path of the subject and attempt to pick up further signs in that direction. Anthropologists tell us that tracking was crucial in the evolution of early humans as part of persistence hunting; man’s ability to regulate body temperature by sweating and to hydrate by carrying water, which allowed him to run down animal prey.1 The literature on tracking consists of some books advocating its practise as a form of therapy for modern people to re-establish connection with the natural environment and others that represent technical “how to” manuals for hunting animals and/or humans some of which are military or law enforcement oriented.2 During Africa’s late twentieth century decolonisation wars, tracking became an important skill mobilised by both state security forces and insurgents.

At the end of the country’s war for independence in 1980, the ZDF formed as an amalgamation of former Rhodesian state military personnel and insurgents from the liberation movements of 32,n. v.13, the Zimbabwe African People’s Union (ZAPU) and the Zimbabwe African National Union (ZANU). Personnel from ZANU came to dominate Zimbabwe’s new military given the lack of a specific agreement over the integration process, their numerical superiority, and ZANU’s electoral success that gave it political power. During the ZDF e010 integration exercise of the early 1980s, British advisors attempted to create a Western-style force but acted pragmatically while North Korean instructors helped 4 , create an overtly ZANU affiliated brigade and party militia.
