A sobering story. As a UK citizen (with a year or two in a Rhodesian boarding school as a youngster), hanging my head in shame is just not enough. The same good-for-nothings are still in charge here, utterly useless human detritus for whom every thinking person should have nothing but contempt.
Don't be hard on yourself, I have met many fine British people who clearly supported us. Sadly, Brit politicians are particularly nasty specimens of humanity which is at odds with the character of most British people.
Heartbreaking. Would love to know what happened to this fellow in the years after that... Anyway, so glad to have found your channel! Cheers from Brazil!

Thanks once again for the story. Frelimo came to power in the same year I was born. As I’ve said before, I’m now living in Russia after leaving Zimbabwe after finishing university in SA in 1997. My son regards himself as a Rhodesian, though he was born in Russia. This must be some sort of proof that ‘Rhodesians never die.’ 😂 In any case, I’ve just listened to ‘Salazar’ with him, and he really enjoyed it. Of course we discussed elements of the history of the war, such as protected villages etc. Great stuff. Thank you so much.

What a story!! You have a great talent for storytelling, without video or pictures you take us there. Too bad so many try to make this political, but you have given us a great life lesson. Thank you.
Hello, I’m a new viewer here, and I just wanted to say I absolutely love listening to your stories from the Bush War. I’m looking forward to hearing more from your channel soon! This is some of the most entertaining content on RUclips in my opinion
It was a cowardly shameful act when the British abandoned Rhodesia. From all i have come to understand about it to date. Here in the U.S. much is happening that i thought i would never see. Thank you again for sharing your experiences.
@Frank Carr Hi Frank, it was called the ‘Gonna Stagger Inn’ . I have a beer mug from the bar. The bar and building it was in was pretty banged up in 76. Blessings Terry.
@Frank Carr Hi Frank, it was in that building. It was situated on the eastern side of the building. Unfortunately that building took a pounding during 76, getting worse through the year. We were redeployed the Vumba November 76 because of increased attacks by Frelimo, that soon came to a halt, lol. I recently looked up Julian Twyne, he was the police commander of VS, unfortunately he passed away a few years ago in the Uk from an illness, a sad loss. He was an incredible man, who I had much respect for. Was he not there during your stint. Blessings Terry.
@Frank Carr Hi Frank, never thought the police would move out and game wardens move in, although I suppose there was no requirement for police. I was in C troop Rhodesian Artillery. I would think there would have been a troop of artillery, while you were there? I never knew Teddy.
@Frank Carr Hi Frank, are troop was near Impala Arm’s Hotel, White horse was further along the road into the Vumba. Which country / city do you live, I’m in Johannesburg.
In the late 1950’s I was an undergraduate studying geology in Johannesburg and had several short term student jobs in the Rhodesias. On one occasion we were working out of Gwelo. Hastings Banda was also in Gwelo, locked up in the town jail, which puts the year at 1959. A task had taken me to a farm where the owner was rather talkative and told me his life’s story: how he had been a major in the Indian army and had been with the Indian division in the North African campaign; how he had ended the war guarding an aerodrome in Palestine; how in 1947 Nehru (for whom he had some choice words) had kicked him out of India; and how he had decided to make a living farming in Southern Rhodesia. I think of him from time to time and wonder how anyone could have made such an appallingly bad decision. But there were many like him. I remember on either side the road from Livingstone to Kalomo were farms belonging to sundry majors and colonels, all Indian army types who thought the Empire would never die.
You mean basically that they were Indian sellouts, who allied with the British against their own Indian people? I hope Mugabe gave them a hiding when Zimbabwe became independent of the occupation by the foreign settlers!
So the man flees Mozambique, enters Rhodesia, and in the end things turn out the same - maybe he's the one jinxing it In all seriousness though, I understand how hard it is to leave your homeland and start over. But he did the right thing, just like you did after the war was over. I only hope he managed to leave before things turned ugly over there as well.
For many of us there was the opportunity of leaving, but for so many in South Africa today there is no such luck: many of the 4 million whites will simply have to fight for their lives. I thank God I live in Australia now.
@@MrLukedanger probably Poland, but my perspective isn't of a European. More people are aware or waking up to the tragedies and delusions of communism.
That was one eerie atmosphere reaching the village! Jeez I can't imagine myself in that situation and it's not near the top of the list of what soldiers experience.
In the late 1960s and early 1970s the Rhodesian security forces sometimes took part in joint military operations with the Portuguese in neighbouring Mozambique where the Portuguese had been fighting against communist-backed black nationalists, FRELIMO, since September 1964. Indeed, Portugal fought harder to keep its territory in Africa than any other European nation for it had also been at war in Angola since 1961 and in Portuguese Guinea since 1963. Consequently, by 1974 an astonishing 40 per cent of Portugal’s national budget was being devoted to the war effort and around 9,000 Portuguese soldiers (white and black) had lost their lives. In April 1974, however, Portugal’s right-wing government was overthrown in a military coup (the Carnation Revolution) and this event brought an end to Portugal’s provinces in Africa and led to the large-scale flight of whites, some of whom of course fled to Rhodesia, which already had a small Portuguese community. The following footage shows Portuguese troops in terrain similar to much of the Rhodesian countryside: ruclips.net/video/7ELJHA1qDE0/видео.html
My grandfather fought in that war in the north of Angola and his mission was to intersept the congo's trucks with guns that come from russia and China he fought in the portuguese rangers
The Frelimo sounds like they were a huge troupe of armed, out of control 'monkeys' , that would be better suited on chain leashes; similar to that worn by their hairy brethren Salazar. 'Out of the flames and into the fire', is a quote that springs to mind in respect of the unfortunate Portugese man and his wife. 'Adapt and survive is another'! Thank you so much for relating this most interesting tale.
Freedom Fighters start off with lofty goals and ambition then the harsh reality of their lives set in. This brutal process makes many a bandit/thug compounded by a lack of education and ignorance of the world outside their country. The power of the gun is hard for many a revolutionary to give up.
I am from N.Ireland and it is the same there.It is much easier to pick up a weapon than it is to put one down and negotiate.Even old IRA men I knew said the same about their younger cadre.
The storytelling here... unmatched. Never heard "Never say never" described in such a real, sobering and deeply relevant way. The undying optimism of the Brazilian allows you to keep building despite having lost everything; but the reality of Rhodesia always comes calling.
Some of these stories are soul-crushing. There's nothing more tragic than seeing the fruits of your work being taken away from you time and time again. The true horror of socialism, systematically and surgically excising hope from the hearts of men.
This story saddens me so much because I lost everything in Rhodesia, where I was quite wealthy, owning at least eight pieces of property and my own construction company. I left Zimbabwe with £300 in my pocket and live in cold and wet England now, among some wonderful British people but still subject to the same type of smug bastards that ran the Brit govt back in the 1970s, spineless to a fault and ready to betray an ally in an instant. Something died in the leadership of this country a long time ago, even under Maggie Thatcher who put British oil in Nigeria ahead of our survival. Sad.
So sorry for your loss, both of fortune and country. Both Britain and the US shamefully abandoned you to the communists, showing how little they really cared about containing that ideology and standing for "Western values" around the world. I hope Britain's at least treated you well since you arrived there. 🟩⬜🟩
Damn any way we can get your country back? Maybe 1776 style. If Great Britain hangs your homeland out to dry time to toss them and to get squared away on your own. I’ll bet the corporate interest are still well represented in what ever warlord state former Rhodesia is now. Never say never.
Did you ever have experience of the pookie ,good or bad? As to the baboon Salazar I spent a very"interesting" camp at Vila Salazar. It will be in my memoirs
Rhodesia should have learned to build and maintain their own armor, planes, munitions, and weapons.....then with their resources they would not have been dependent on foreign supply. If they were self sufficient they could have won. Being a colony that could be cut off by the central government makes you vulnerable to their whim.
Never say never. You should have said it loud enough for all to hear. Smith said never ever. Years later Mugabe said never ever ...they went the same way
What a terrible situation for that guy. I hope he came to America. I pray the coming generation had a steel in its spine that past have not. Thankfully there is a reaction against the crazy Marxism that I never saw in my generation (in mid thirties)
As an Englishman ( Ex Veteran) with family connections to Rhodesiaat at the time of the bush wars ( I refuse to write Zimbabwe ) I feel deeply ashamed of the way my government betrayed the people of Rhodesia and the efforts of the magnificent soldiers who vainly strived to protect it.
Hi Folks. Any Ex Rhodesian military men know a certain Miles Hanscombe or his sister Mavis? Looking for further information. Miles was my uncle and fought in the war.
