The RAF roundel was adapted to display three small assegais in black and white vertically across the red centre. The assegais represented the three territories making up the Federation, namely Southern Rhodesia, Northern Rhodesia and Nyasaland .(Note: the Union Jack was displayed in the canton and not the Federal flag). On 15 October 1954 the air arm was officially designated as the ROYAL RHODESIAN AIR FORCE.

To order this book, please contact greatepicbooks@worldnet.att.net Very rarely does a tiny segment of the millennia old history of Africa come along in which one is very fortunate to play a role, indeed a role in which one knows all of the participants and is involved in the subtle and intriguing political nuances. Such an historical segment was, for me, the rise and fall of the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland. In addition to having been an active participant in much of this history-making episode, I have in my personal library, almost every book and brochure that deals in full or in part with this most important period, and with the three independent nations that succeeded the Federation, Malawi, Zambia and Zimbabwe.

Botswana History Bush people were the original inhabitants of Botswana. They originated in the north and have gradually migrated southwards. Approximately 2,000 years ago the Hottentots followed the Bush people who were then followed by Bantu speakers. The three groups coexisted happily and there was a flourishing trade between them. Shona speakers settled in the north east of Botswana in around the 10th century AD. The first Tswana settled in the south east of Botswana in approximately the 15th century possibly having migrated from the south. By the 18th century the Tswana were very well established in the area. In 1820 various clans began to form into a string of nations along what is now the border between Botswana and South Africa this was prompted because the clans felt the need to defend themselves against the tide of humanity fleeing from the Transvaal and Natal between 1820 and 1840 as a result of Zulu militancy and Boer expansionism. The borders were secured in 1885 with the declaration of a British protectorate known as Bechuanaland, the reason behind the declaration was the rivalry between the British and the Boers. The capital of the Bangwato clan at Shoshong had a population of about 30,000 by 1960.

Zimbabwe History * There have been many civilisations in Zimbabwe as is shown by the ancient stone structures at Khami, Great Zimbabwe and Dhlo-Dhlo. * The Mwene Mutapa (or Monomatapas) were the first major civilisation to become established. * By the mid 1440's, King Mutota's empire included almost all of the Rhodesian plateau and extensive parts of what is now Mozambique. * the wealth of this empire was based on small-scale industries, for example iron smelting, textiles, gold and copper, along with agriculture. * The regular inhabitants of the empire's trading towns were the Arab and Swahili merchants with whom trade was conducted. * In the early 16th century the Portuguese arrived and destroyed this trade and began a series of wars which left the empire so weakened that it entered the 17th century in serious decline. * Several Shona states came together to form the Rozwi empire which covered more than half of present day Zimbabwe. * By 1690 the Portuguese had been forced off the plateau and much of the land formerly under Mwene Mutapa was controlled by the Rozwi. * Peace and prosperity reigned over the next two centuries and the centres of Dhlo-Dhlo, Khami, and Great Zimbabwe reached their peaks.

By the mid 1890s the principal match of the season was Salisbury (now Harare) v Bulawayo. In 1898-99 Lord Hawke's team came to play two matches in Bulawayo, this being the first visit by an English cricket team to Rhodesia. In the first years of the twentieth century, JD Logan presented a cup for competition amongst the towns in Rhodesia, and in 1904-05 Rhodesia sent a team to Johannesburg to oppose Transvaal in the Currie Cup Competition. After a long and harrowing journey by the Rhodesians, Transvaal won by an innings and 170 runs.

Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... R > Rhodesia A B C D ... CICDC - Home of the Catholic Lifetime Reading Plan Rhodesia The earliest attempt to evangelize Matabeleland was made in 1879 when three Jesuit Fathers Jesuit Fathers Jesuit mission stations on the Chikuni and Nguerere Rivers. These missions are under the jurisdiction of the Jesuit Prefect Apostolic of the Zambesi, resident in Bulawayo. There are 35 priests, 30 lay brothers, and 83 nuns in charge of the missions. The Catholic native population is about 3000. For the missions of North-eastern Rhodesia see NYASSA, VICARIATE, APOSTOLIC OF. The land of the mission stations in Rhodesia is usually a grant from the Government made on condition of doing missionary work and is therefore inalienable without a special order in Council. Native schools, in some cases, are in receipt of a small grant from the Government. The Jesuit Fathers have one school for white boys (120) at Bulawayo, while the Sisters of the Third Order of St. Dominic have three: at Bulawayo (210), Salisbury (130) and Gwelo (40). These schools are undenominational and receive grants from the Government. Hence Catholics who were first in the field, have a very considerable share in the education of the country. New Government schools have been built recently in Salisbury, Bulawayo, and Gwelo and other places in order to meet the growing demand for education and they have, so far, succeeded in filling their school-rooms without taking many pupils from the schools managed by Catholics.

HISTORY OF ZIMBABWE RUGBY The Pioneer Column arrived in Rhodesia in 1890 and brought with it the first batch of rugby players from the Cape. Enthusiasm was such that the earliest matches to be played in Rhodesia were during stops on the long trek towards Salisbury. Although the Pioneers had played in Fort Victoria in 1890, the earliest recorded game by sides resident in the Midlands province was played in 1899 when Gwelo paid a visit to Selukwe. Political developments saw Rhodesia become Zimbabwe in 1980 and while it ended the ties with South Africa and Currie Cup it presented exciting opportunities in the International Arena. Zimbabwe has participated in two World Cups, 1987 and 1991 and history was made in 1986 with the debut of the first African player, Richard Tsimba in the Zimbabwe National Team.

The classic green and white flag will forever symbolize 'Proud White Rhodesia'. Rhodesia's Flag This brief history of the country of Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) is for the benefit of British National Party members and supporters who we know will appreciate the truth of how successive British governments have sold out our own people in the continent of Africa. We have divided the story of this proud nation into three sections. Firstly, a concise history of the birth and development of Rhodesia. Secondly, two of the main personalities in the struggle between good and evil. Thirdly, the armed struggle for survival of the white people of Rhodesia from the Marxist terrorist assaults of 1965-80. We hope you enjoy reading at last the story of our people that has in the past been shamefully ignored.

BRIEF HISTORY OF ILAM The International Library of African Music (ILAM) was founded by the late Hugh Tracey in 1954, after 25 years of recording African music, at Msaho, north of Roodepoort,near Johannesburg, on land belonging to the record company Gallo (Africa) Ltd. In 1979 ILAM moved from Roodepoort to become part of the Institute of Social and Economic Research at Rhodes University ,Grahamstown. Dr Hugh Tracey had already been studying African music since 1920, when he arrived from Devonshire,England, at Gutu in Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) to farm tobacco with his older brother Leonard who had been allotted land as a serviceman wounded in the First World War. He first learned the Karanga dialect of the Shona language, and then, coming from a musical family, naturally sang with his Karanga farm workers in the fields. He soon became convinced of the enormous value of African music in their lives, and its potential in African social and cultural development. Several years later (1929) I made a number of discs with a visiting recording company (Columbia, London) when I took fourteen young Karanga men with me to record in Johannesburg, five hundred miles south. These were the first items of indigenous Rhodesian music to be recorded and published. Shortly afterwards several of these items were used by John Hammond of CBS, atCarnegie Hall in New York as preliminary music to his program on the historic occasion when he presented on the stage, for the first time in that city, the music and the personnel of a number of southern Negro bands.

Home Publications Speeches Press Releases ... Zambia Electronic Clearing House Limited BANK OF ZAMBIA The History of the Bank of Zambia Before Central Banking The Establishment of the Central Bank The Changing Roles of the Central Bank Before Central Banking A semblance of central banking started in Zambia through the establishment in 1938 of the Salisbury (Harare) based Southern Rhodesia Currency Board. Its jurisdiction extended to Northern Rhodesia and Nyasaland because of a monetary agreement that existed between Southern Rhodesia and these territories. In 1954, the Southern Rhodesia Currency Board was renamed the Currency Board of Rhodesia and Nyasaland when its ownership changed from the Southern Rhodesia government to the Federal government of Rhodesia and Nyasaland. Currency boards are not central banks and they do not offer banking services. Their sole function, in contrast to the multiple functions of central banks, is to issue currency. In the case of the Central African Currency Board, and its predecessor they issued the Central African pounds which were 100 percent backed by pound sterling reserves in London. In other words, if the territories' foreign exchange reserves rose, the Board increased its issue of local currency. If they declined, the local currency issued also had to be reduced. With time the Currency Boards existance was hotly debated with some people saying that it needed to be replaced by a central bank. At the time, one of the popular views held by economists was that monetary policy could play a direct role in promoting economic growth primarily through credit expansion. The strict rules on monetary creation under the currency board, which made it conditional on developments in the balance of payments, did not accomodate discretionary credit expansion. In general, it was also considered more preferable to have a central bank which could conduct monetary policy and counter unfavourable cyclical developments.
