Keep up the good work. Regards from Paraguay.

There is quite a growing population of South Africans here - there must be over 500 right now - they keep coming and going all the time. We were some of the first to come over to Paraguay in the late 70's. If anyone wants to come over here to live or for a visit, I'd be glad to give a hand. Beautiful country - almost like old Rhodesia.

Great site. Was born & bred in Salisbury - best place on the earth. Went to Marlborough Primary then onto Marlborough High. Left in 1979. Miss it lots. I am very proud to be a Rhodesian (now living in Canada) and wouldn't change anything. My biggest regret is that Bob has sunk the country to such a low, that my children will never have the same treasured memories as I did and living in such a wonderful country, Rhodesia as a child is a whole lot better than living in Canada, anyday. I used your site as a bit of reference when I was doing some marketing projects in college last year and have adopted the "flame lily" as my logo. I frequently get asked questions about the flame lily and am very proud to tell people that it is the national flower of my country of birth. My late dad was very active in RASA, he also was a bred Rhodesian and died a Rhodesian - Great site, Great Country, Great People, Wonderful memories

Great site, brings back many memories. Left in 1989 after having spent my childhood in Mashaba, attended Mashaba Primary 1968 - 1974, Guinea Fowl High (Wellington House)1975 - 1977 and then later moved to Fort Victoria High(Tower House)1977 - 1979. Attended Bulawayo Tech 1980 - 1982. Married school sweetheart Anriette Nel in 1984 (daughter of TOM & Ann Nel of Gutu). My parents Lou & Mona Watson have retired in Kriel Mphumalanga. We regularly visit family in Zimbabwe who despite all odds are still managing to farm in Gutu/Chatsworth. Just when you think things have reached rock bottom, Bob manages to sink Zims lower.

Great site, and brings back many memories. Left in 72 having spent my childhood in Rhodesia, it has always been a special place for me and to this day I still slip back into using some of the 'lingo' I grew up on! I only hope things will get better out there now, it is truely a tragic situation.

I have just found this site and it is wonderful! Lived in Salisbury - went to Borrowdale Junior School, Arundle High School. Lived in game reserves Wankie, Mana Pools, Matusiadonna, Chirisa Safari area. Moved to RSA 1983 - lived in game reserves - Umfolozi, Hluhluwe and Ndumu. Left in May 2003 as I did not want to live in Africa as grow old as I am alone. Gorwing up in Rhodesia were the most special part of my life and so are the Rhodesian people - always proud of being Rhodesian.

The dream of a free Rhodesia/Zimbabwe is on the way and let the rebuilding of a country begin.

I left Zimbabwe in 1984 to come to South Africa. Been living here since and only yesterday 02.06.05 got to hear of the Rhodesian site on internet. What a GREAT SITE - only a pity that it is not advertized more widely in other ways. I only got to hear of the site after replying to the advertisment in the YOU magazine for the reunion in November. Once I got onto the site I was impressed to see a few names that I recognised from School and in particular "FILABUSI". Is there anyone out there from FILABUSI that remembers me. I would love to hear from you... this is where I grew up and definitly remember this as the BEST years of my life. We had such a GOOD / EXCITING childhood in Filabusi. I also went to Eveline and stayed in Bulawayo and don't see enough names of friends from my era (born 1963..)

After having left Zim in 1983 have only now heard of this internet sight. We have obviously been fast asleep. Would love to hear from old friends whom we have lost contact with. Have not searched the sight extensively, so not sure if you have a section on contacts Just to mention that here in Cape Town, you know when a Rhodie has lived in a particular house, cause there are always Flame Lilies in the gardens. Also I had a wonderful day yesterday with a group of ex-rhodie females who went to Nettleton Junior School, boy did we go down memory lane. No one can take that away from us! Anyone out there from this era, contact would be great. 1963 to 1969 (ops giving away my age?)
