| Video Discription | Thursday, February 7th 1980. Footage of a speech by Ian Smith, the former Prime Minister of the White Minority government of Rhodesia, in which he called on his supporters to prevent a "Marxist victory" in the forthcoming election. He was speaking in Rusape, Eastern Rhodesia. He urged the audience of nearly 200 White farmer to try to influence their Black employees. He aimed his campaign at 400,000 Black African families, employed on Rhodesia's farms. He told farmers at Rusape to warn workers they would lose their children and possessions under a "Marxist regime". He was referring to the projected win by the Patriotic Front headed by Robert Mugabe. Text of Smith's words: "I have heard it said that the white man can influence many, many black people even reported at a high level, and that is because all of our lives we have lived so closely together here. Especially for people in the rural areas, the blacks are part of the family. That has always been the way here. And we communicate and seek advice form one another. Therefore, I say to you we must try to do this...Let's leave out personalities. I don't want to get involved in bitterness, and wrangling and personal slanging. Not if we want to go on living together. But when it comes to the straight philosophy, we must warn our black people of the evils of Marxism. They've been brought up under a different system, the tribal system. They're babes in the wood, especially when you have unscrupulous people. So let us do what we can to ensure that they get the message; they realise how it is going to be. The end of freedom, the end of our lives as we have known it ins the past for black as well as white." Source: Reuters News Archives. |
