A one hour Troopie show FOR Troopies.
This was a VERY rare show where soldiers broadcasted right from the bush in early 1979.
The quality is horrible. Maybe one of you audio wizards can clean it up ?! Please let me know in the comments.
They are broadcasting from a mobile studio in 1979 direct from the front lines.

This is an ad campaign for new and potential immigrants to Salisbury Rhodesia from the Salisbury Publicity Association.
Find out the history and how this wonderful city represented itself to the world in 1976!

"The recording like many of these old ones is wobbly, due to the equipment at the time"

Radio Rhodesia Gallo Chartbusters (May 1975)

I have a TON of music recorded on to Cassette Tapes from the 1970s in Rhodeisa. I just learned how to use Windows moviemaker. I'll upload one or two everyday.
Pop them in your MP3 player and put them in your car and listen.
You'll be transported back to the 1970s in Rhodesia and here what people did in thier cars when they were driving around 40+ years ago.
Love ya' fam

This is mostly music. The coverage of the events of UDI are at the end of the recording. This was recorded by Radio Rhodesia on November 11th, 1977.
The recording is muted. Maybe one of you audio geniuses can perk it up?!

"The mantle of the pioneers has fallen on our shoulders to sustain civilisation in a primitive country."

This is a GREAT news cast of about 1 hour chock full of great stuff. They start out talking about Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn and later on have an Interview with Ian Smith.
This is the best news compilation i have heard from Rhodesia. Give it a listen and get the mindset of the time in South Africa and Rhodesia.
They ask Ian Smith about his now famous quote "Let me say it again. I don't believe in black majority rule ever in Rhodesia—not in a thousand years. I repeat that I believe in blacks and whites working together. If one day it is white and the next day it is black, I believe we have failed and it will be a disaster for Rhodesia" . It was the first interview 2 weeks after he made the quote.

Radio Rhodesia - The PM Show from Umtali (April 27, 1976)

The Prime Ministers Address of the Right Honorable Ian Douglas Smith.
Aired on Rhodesian Broadcasting Corporation's
Radio Rhodesia on April 27th 1976
He talks to the nation about the Kissinger Protocol.

Sunday, 19 September 1976
Rhodesian Prime Minister Ian Smith and United States Secretary of State Henry Kissinger met in Pretoria to discuss majority rule for Rhodesia. South African Prime Minister B.J. Vorster joined the final stages of the talks. Towards the end of 1974, Vorster, backed by President Kenneth Kaunda of Zambia, had started to campaign actively for peace in Rhodesia, but to no avail. This was the third in a series of three talks, initiated by Kissinger, in an attempt to create a region of political and economic stability in Rhodesia that would be strong enough to withstand communist inroads. At this conference, Smith accepted the principle of majority rule in his country. Despite this major breakthrough there were no positive results, except an announcement by Smith on 24 September that his government had accepted Kissinger's proposal of a Black majority government within two years. This, however, did not end the war in Rhodesia. The Black movements in Rhodesia and the leaders of the front line states (Tanzania, Zambia, Mozambique and Botswana) would only consider a settlement on their terms and Smith refused to make any more concessions. Terrorist activity in Rhodesia continued, as well as punitive raids by the Rhodesian forces against bases in Mozambique, Zambia and Angola.
