This article details Henrik Verwoerd's response to Harold Macmillan's "Wind of Change" speech made to the South African Parliament on February 1960. It talks about how the tendency in Africa for nations to become independent does justice to both the black and white man of Africa. According to Verwoerd, Europeans represent the white men of Africa, whom brought civilization to major portions of Africa with the present developments of black nationalists possible. This is where the Europeans have brought in education, way of life, industrial development, and Western ideals to the black natives. Therefore, Verwoerd believes that the Europeans have the fullest degree of involvement with the same full opportunities to remain with the white man who has made all these African developments possible.

This is a speech that was given to the South African Parliament in February, 1960. It touches on the material progress achieved by South Africa, then goes on to discuss the increasing emergence of independent nations in both Africa and various other parts of the world. It implies that growing feelings of African nationalism are inevitable and that their causes lie within western achievements. The speech also discusses the choice which newly independent Asian and African nations will have to make between the Communist Camp and the Western World.

This Youtube video discusses about how propaganda and classes of communism, Maoism, and Leninist-Marxism can brainwash the black Natives into becoming radical terrorists. Their anti-imperialistic approach makes them want to kill/ massacre white missionaries. In response, the missionaries are stunned of the 'communist attack' because these missionaries felt that they worked for the well-being of the Natives.

A comprehensive archive about Rhodesia - from Cecil Rhodes through to Ian Smith.

The respect that Rhodesians held for Britain was, most often, not reciprocated by the latter. The "Peck Letter", constructed by Rhodesian lawyer A.JA. Peck in 1965 - one day after the UDI - and published in the "Times of London", laments the British Rhodesia policy as an infringement on Rhodesian sovereignty, highlighting a double standard.

A guide for a film made by PBS about Zimbabwe, particularly Mugabe's relationship with white Africans. From page 8 onwards, it gives a brief history of Zimbabwe's colonial history, discusses the land distribution in Rhodesia, and the land reforms undertaken by Mugabe. It is particularly useful for assessing the challenges in the formation of modern Zimbabwe, but focuses on the period from 2000 onwards.

Gives a brief history to the background of Zimbabwe, as well as its fight for independence. Focuses on Mugabe's land and economic reform. Also includes "discussion questions". I think this article would be good for some background information, or as a pre-reading.

Talks about what Mugabe did to earn the title as "Africa's Hitler". Mentions his role in fighting for liberation, as well as his collision with the West. Compares Mugabe to Bush, and other "brutal" leaders. Also talks about how Western governments plan to drive him from power.
