  • Other Developments Among African Nationalists Inside Rhodesia
    Keesing's Record of World Events (formerly Keesing's Contemporary Archives), Volume 23, November, 1977 Rhodesia, Page 28648 © 1931-2006 Keesing's Worldwide, LLC - All Rights Reserved. Other Developments among African Nationalists inside Rhodesia At a press conference on Sept. 2 Mr Smith did not reject the proposals out of hand but was highly critical of many of their features. The plan appeared to him to be “a very cunning scheme” to put the Patriotic Front in power; it was, he said, a “crazy suggestion” that the “terrorists” fighting against his Government should form the basis of the future security forces; to surrender power to some such organization as a United Nations peace-keeping force during the transition was to him “an almost insane suggestion”; and he went on: “It seems to me almost a crazy suggestion to ask a Government and people to dissolve themselves, to surrender, without even knowing what their replacement is going to be.” In his view the whole plan was “not only ill-conceived, it was rushed”. He added, however, that after the proposals had been analysed by a subcommittee, “we will give it [the analysis] serious consideration and a careful and considered reply to the proposals”. Mr Mark Partridge, then Rhodesia's Minister of Defence, said on Sept. 8 that neither he nor his Government would accept the disbandment of the Rhodesian Army or the incorporation into it of “terrorists”. Mr Ian Smith, accompanied by Mr David Smith (the Rhodesian Deputy Prime Minister), held talks in Pretoria on Sept. 12 with Mr Vorster and Mr R.

  • A Decade of Civil Aviation in Zimbabwe: Towards a History of Air Zimbabwe Corporation 1980 to 1990

A DECADE OF CIVIL AVIATION IN ZIMBABWE: TOWARDS A HISTORY OF AIR ZIMBABWE CORPORATION 1980 TO 1990 A. S. MLAMBO Department of Economic History, University of Zimbabwe Abstract In 1980 when Air Zimbabwe was established, there was great hope that it would prosper, especially since it was going to operate in a global atmosphere without the restrictions of economic sanctions that had constrained its predecessor, Rhodesia Airways. In the first few years, Air Zimbabwe expanded its services, replaced old aircraft with newer and more hiel-efficient state-of- the-art aeroplanes. By the mid-1980s however, the airline had started to lose money and continued to do so for the rest of the decade, necessitating hefty subsidies from the government. This article traces the development of Air Zimbabwe from 1980 to 1990 and attempts to analyze the reasons behind the airline's disappointing performance. It suggests that the failure of the airline to operate as a viable commercial enterprise was a result of both internal weaknesses of the airline's administration and restrictive government policies, as well as a generally difficult global economic climate. INTRODUCTION Air Zimbabwe Corporation (hereafter called AirZim) was established under the Zimbabwe Corporation Act (Chapter 253) of 1980.1 The new airline took over from Rhodesia Airways which had been established in 1967 and which had operated profitably throughout its existence, with the exception of the 1979 financial year when it registered its first deficit.

    “HONOURED MORE IN THE BREACH THAN IN THE OBSERVANCE”: ECONOMIC SANCTIONS ON RHODESIA1 AND INTERNATIONAL RESPONSE, 1965 TO 1979 A. S. Mlambo Department of Historical and Heritage Studies University of Pretoria Abstract The United Nations Security Council passed a series of resolutions condemning Rhodesia’s unilateral declaration of independence (UDI) in 1965, culminating in Resolution 253 of 1968 imposing comprehensive mandatory international sanctions on Rhodesia.
