[QUOTE="LittleGuy, post: 589880, member: 44360"] Ummmm, yes they did, the country was ruled by a white minority, the name change in 1964 was very significant as Southern Rhodesia became Rhodesia which was an indepedent breakaway state from the UK. Many regarded it as essentially a rogue state, when the country reverted to black majority rule in 1979, the Whites' essentially grabbed their luggage and ran to the planes. Then Mugabe took power and did his best to show how quickly you can ruin a countries infrastructure, health and food production, it's been a fascinating 25 year program he even succesfully implemented cholera!!! A disease that had almost ceased to exist!!! Edit: I suppose I'll grant you that the current regime, has essentially adopted the prior history of the rugby team to suit their needs, just as many Canadians like to claim "we burnt down the White House in 1812"...which was really a bunch of Brits, with maybe one or two Canadian(the country didn't even offically exist) militia hanging on.
