faraway saint Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 Gave up in the sin bin. Anyhow, notorious, overall nasty man, deid at the age of 95. Seems to be some conflict on him, I'm afraid I don't see any conflict. Only out for himself, killing any group/people that got in his way to remain in power for 30 years.

St.Ricky Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 An outsiders view. He was a very senior Tribal Leader in East and Southern Africa. He carried out enforced transfers of land from white to black farmers. Both of these ensured the non intervention of neighbouring countries in his domestic affairs. Not untypical of other emerging, newly independent countries. Nor was he untypical of their leaders in hanging on to power and the methods used. A number of my zimbabwian friends and contacts will not be sad to see him go, others won't be so sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you said on another thread , UDi by Smith let the door open for Mugabe and it was Harold Wilson who let Smith get away with it . .

Guest TPAFKATS Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 A bit like Boris according to one of our PM fans in the media. Aye, say what you like about Mugabe but he'd have gotten brexit sorted... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely. Smith led an oppressive regime until then giving way to Mugabe. Not surprising that there was then a severe reaction by the black majority.

smcc Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 Unfortunately Mugabe was a racist and killed an estimated 10 to 20 thousand black inhabitants of Matabeleland, assisted ably by his henchman Emmerson Mnangagwa! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russian Saint Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 Should he not be in the Total c**t thread ?

You'll probably remember Smith met Wilson aboard a Royal Navy vessel ( effectively "British soil") and should have has him arrested for treason instead of letting him return to Rhodesia.

I do recall. By then Britain was happy to divest itself of commonwealth countries. So.. I guess that this, in some way, suited our agenda. They were more worried at the time about communist activity in Africa than white supremacists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hid reign of terror, and greed, lasted such a long time tens of thousands were living in fear and these scars will never leave them. If there is a bad fire I hope he's burnt to a frazzle.
