    I never knew Zimbabwe looked so much nicer and more affluent than the U.S. in the 60s. It's shocking to see how the country deteriiorated. Sadly, the USA is going on the same path.

    Zimbabweans should comment truthfully about what life is really like today 2020. My 98 yr old Granny can tell you what life was really like back then. The younger generation have been brainwashed that's why they see suffering and poverty as normal. Every month I send money ku musha (home) to my extended family, it hurts because things are getting worse and there is only so much I can do to help. 😥😭🙏

    The country was absolutely great, with smart and clean people.

    Rhodesia was far more developed than my country in the 1960s. But today, the situation is the opposite. My country had progressed further while Zimbabwe has gone backwards.

    The lack of audio just makes it seem all the more distant and surreal. Really makes you think about what we lost.

    The last images are from the Eastlea area of Harare and Eastlea shopping centre. Some of the roads like Caithness and Thurso Close are still there to this day. Awesome trip to the past

    I'm sure I saw our old army green Ford Anglia parked in front on the Bon Marche supermarket.

    Very similar to inland Australian suburbia of the time, with the eucalypts and landscape. California, too, for the same reasons. Cars not so much, maybe.
