Dont understand why these videos dont get more views I love the honest style of history telling bravo
Please continue with this history my friend. I never get this perspective from any other source and it’s important! Thanks !
It is sad, when a person feel they have to apologize for discussing religion, in a historic manner!!!
Why
It's his Rhodesian politeness.
Good luck in semi retirement Martin. I so enjoy your stories, and look forward to many more. Cheers, BobbyB.
When bravery extends from actions to words...
Well delivered, well received
27:32 Yes!! I remember being in the Sheraton Hotel in Harare in 1987 as a 12 year old where Reinhard Bonnke said that Zimbabwe would be a springboard for revival in Africa and the World...
I really enjoy this series on early Rhodesian history.
On a side note, in the UK not many people have even heard of Rhodesia, my dad and one of my friend's dad's were the only people who actually had any knowledge of your country.
Is that really, actually true? (Serious inquiry.) Did you go to university?
You can put that down to the education system in the UK over the the last forty years . Politically driven policy of wokeness changing what they choose to teach as regards history. Even changing having history as a subject and replacing it with a catch all calling it social studies shows you what they are up to . It is then left to the individual to show a interest in history and do their own research into such a great and wide subject and dig themselves to try and find the truth of our past . This did not happen by accident, it’s called dumbing down, and we should reject it.
I deal with the public on a daily basis in the U.K. , I am constantly asked where is my accent from, I always answer " Rhodesia " , older people have heard of Rhodesia, young have no idea , until I mention it is now called Zimbabwe, which they have heard about.
@@moirapettifr7127 yeah that's true, like another commenter has said it is the older generations who have heard of Rhodesia, even not so young people like me (30) have never heard of it.
I did yes, for engineering though not geography haha
@@johnsmith-ht3sy do you ever have any bad experiences when saying you're from Rhodesia or are people not bothered?
And God bless you too, sir. Thank you for the history lesson and the commentary. That is very interesting.
Hello, this series has to be translated into French, i am a Burkinabè Canadian 3rd generation, i appreciate much your analysis and share with those who can understand English. God bless
In Hawaii where I grew up on an American Army base, stories of how missionaries arrived in the 1820s abound, and yes many Hawaiians took new Christian religions to more devout depths that the missionaries and their descendents generally did. Even today in the hills of the Big Island, one can see evening prayer meetings in homes and churches, be it Latter Day Saints, Methodist or any assorted Christian CofE demoninations. There is a melancholy beauty in these stories!
Thanks for your interesting channel as a Rhodie and 2 Cdo member you make us Proud !
This is the first I've ever heard about Oom Paul being (I imagine grudgingly) ok with British suzerainity but not with an American dominated free republic. Very interesting.
Beautifully articulated as always. You may not be a theologian, but you sure do have a good grasp on spiritual matters. Your distinction made between reformed theology (Calvinsm) and the Evangelical school of thought is quite correct.
Thankyou for another informative and interesting story, I know almost nothing about Africa but what you have told us. My first interest was only that I had a ridgeback years ago and so started listening. Now I have listened to everything you have done and wait for the next. You have wonderful stories, an excellent outlook on life and a manner of speaking that makes it a joy to hear more. Thankyou.
luke magro.
Thnx for yr comments re 5RR. He has become a “National Treasure” to we Rhodesians, esp those of us caught up in the disapora🤗🌍🏆‼️
Like like like.....wish you the best......looking forward to more WISDOM...... And I don't think you finished this story
It is priceless to hear this from someone who was there.
The Boers, after the battle of Blood River thanked God for being His choosen people. On the 16th of December every year, at the Fortrkker Monument in Pretoria, the sun shines into the basement of the Fortrekker Monument and onto a plaque that says in Afrikans, We are Gods choosen people. ( I think that is the translation. )
Congratulations on starting self-employment! All the best.
Great story telling 👏
00:27:00 - It is great to hear that the seeds the missionaries sowed into the hearts of black Rhodesia are now baring fruit...
Matthew 13:8
Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop-a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.
As a white Christian in the UK I can tell you that we need them, as the Church of England is apostatised, compromising the Word of God least it offends the listener, while God's Word says...
1 Peter 2:6-8
6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believes on him shall not be confounded.
7 Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,
8 And a stone of stumbling, *and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient:* whereunto also they were appointed.
Unfortunately, the vast majority of people flooding into the UK today are Muslims who then seek to impose on us the same values over here that brought about the very putrid fruits they sought to escape. But maybe these godly Zimbabweans can show them Christ, who has made many a bearded man a lamb of God having been born-again of the incorruptible seed of Christ's spirit rather than remain of the corrupted seed of Adam who fell.
John 1:12-13
12 Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God
13 children born *not* of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, *but born of God.*
Really have enjoyed your stories for the last couple of years, its a great piece of social history that historians will be lucky to have
AHH! A cliffhanger! Great story. As I follow you and your stories the one thing that sems to permeate through is that the culture and religious undertones of your people and mine (appalachian mountain folks) are strikingly similar. "Thou shalt not kill", yet strike out at me or mine and I will defend that which I hold dear.
Is it true that there is a Boer community living in the Appalachian Mountains since the early 1900's?
@@seanonel in all honesty? We are quite the diverse culture. Farming,mining,leather tanning industry. These things have brought many to the hills in search of work. I know that there are many surnames that could fit the bill as being of that persuasion. It had said that "Dutch" sounding names came from the Pennsylvania "Dutch" ( Which actually are "Deutsche" or German and are of Amish or Mennonite lineage) which followed the tanneries as they moved with the changing of the Chestnut blight as it progressed south. Chestnut bark being one of key ingredients in the process and the blight killing off of the trees. So yes it is quite possible.
I really enjoy these
As always, love your channel and the history lessons!
I was wondering, considering the current circumstances, if you would kindly do a commentary on the relationship of Mr Ian Smith and the Queen. I have always had the intuition that the relationship between him and the Monarchy was not the same as that of him and the British government...
A good storyteller is hard to find, not many stories about rhodesia or sa
bedeorama.
Yes! That is, not many TRUE stories re Rhodesia & RSA.
Excellent job
Waiting for the next installment of the saga 🙂
a well balanced presentation: no worries about what you tell us, Martin - we should all have broad shoulders. Good luck with your new direction work wise. 👍👍
Another great episode. Hey one thing, the audio was really quiet on this recording compared to other episodes.
cool episode 5RR.
I wonder how contemporary Boers in South Africa feel about the this particular time in Southern African history and Rhodesians living in S.A. today?
In the late 1970s and early 80s many Rhodesians moved to South Africa and some of them joined the South African armed forces. South Africans like and admire, tough, courageous, honest Rhodesians. On the other hand, the mentality of other Rhodesians irritates South Africans. In particular,, the misleading claim that there was nothing like apartheid in Rhodesia is inevitably resented.
I've read a lot of fiction loosely based on these times and it's great to get the true story. Same goes for the time you served.
Here in Italy there are African priests, it is not that uncommon, that's because nobody wants to be a priest anymore in Italy, and Italy is a very religious country.
Here in England the local Catholic church always had Irish priests, unable to replace the retired Irish priests they recruited Priests from Goa, in India. The congregation struggle to understand their strong accents.
@@johnsmith-ht3sydoes the Anglican church have the same issues?
@@martino7263 Church of England COE
( Anglican ) have to close the church doors as the congregations are no longer there to support the churches. Churches are being sold off in the last 40 years.
@@johnsmith-ht3sy that's really bad, never thought it was that badof a situation in the UK. I am not very religious, but still religion is a very important part of a people culture.
To the lads.
Thank you for another fascinating video. Were the foreigners coming to SA to work in the mines all of European origins, even if via US or Aus, or where there for example Chinese and Indian people coming?
Thanks!
Nice to hear from an intelligent person
Actually i enjoy your whole series, but the particular analysis in this episode of the impact of religion on the way humans act, black and white, is perfect, almost
We need a hut tax in America.
I would love to hear more on the American connection. American Monroe Doctrine suggests against an American Republic in Africa. Americans are not Imperialist by nature. Seems a bit paranoid but I would love to understand the reasoning. I grant by that period Teddy Roosevelt was not to far from becoming President and he sure liked Africa. Would love to hear more.
Greetings from Germany ☀️☀️😎...hot and Sunny...
We are now facing a guerilla war in our country, but by His Grace, we will overcome

Oh it already happening the black Zimbabweans have established churchies in Britain.
Oh heck yes
Hi Martin
Sounds like the biblical bondage of Egypt....
20% of your labour belongs to the Pharaoh...
the phrase "Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's" springs to mind.
@@juslitor True, if you are trapped or bond to the system of Ceasar, ofcourse you should render to Ceasar that belongs to Ceasar... Doesn't mean you should stay a slave of Ceasar...
People don't understand that there's two governments at war in this world... The government of the world that wants to rule over you and tell you what's right and what's not and what you can do and what not... And the government ( Kingdom) of God, where you should not have people ruling over you (Matthew 20: 25-26) and tell you or decide for you what to do...
It should not be this way with God fearing man... No, God fearing man should not rule over other man but let God rule and not man... Just like Gideon did when the people wanted to make him king, he said: I will not be your King and my son's al so will not be your king but God will be your King... There was a time before the voice of the people ( democracy ) of Isreal wanted a king to rule over them. When the people was free to do whatever they found in their heart the right thing to do and did that...
That was the time they not rejected God,(1 Samuel 8)but lived free and the Way God intended people to live... The people wasn't perfect but the "system, government, Kingdom of God" of freedom was... The systems Moses and Jesus came to establish was in agreement with each other...
God wants everyone to be free and be responsible for their own life and choices... In the government (Kingdom) of God you have the choice to listen to the Holly Spirit and be free, but in the kingdom of Nimrod, Babylon, Pharaoh, Ceasar or Ramaphosa you don't...
We are all back in the bondage of Egypt, and we are bond to render to Ceasar( Ramaphosa) that belongs to Ceasar... But we have the Lord's Kingdom, we don't have to stay bound...
We need to move towards the Government (Kingdom) of God, where no man rules over us but God... That's the network, the Eclisia, the government, the church that Jesus came to establish and the Apostles expanded... Not this idea we have of a Church today... It was a network, a government where people took care of each other and loved each other and loved their King and had a other King which was not Ceasar ( Ramaphosa)...
But they had to be careful not to use this freedom for evil but too love one another and take responsibility for themselves and each other...
In this times, there will come a small rock from the mountain, and it will grow and grow without the hands of man...
That rock will become a massive boulder and destroy this statue of a government of men that wants to rule over another men... It will be crushed to dust and free man will walk on the earth and experience freedom, love and peace for a 1000 years...
You're wrong man, well maybe not wrong but behind the times, Africans have been doing missionary work In the UK for well over 10 years probably more like 20.
Seems European religion was the root of all evil in southern Africa. Such a shame to justify things under the umbrella of faith. Keep the stories coming, you’re are terrific!
FIRST!
I seems that arrogance, perceived superiority and inflexibility were the hall-marks of the Boer leadership in those days. Odd that the English, who were seen as their bugbear were labelled almost identically. Even so far as claiming greater 'favour' from God as his chosen people...Little wonder they eventually clashed so violently. By contrast, the Rhodesian embraced change and diversity for the common good, suffered no abundantly obvious delusions of grandeur, and was highly adaptable. How unjust things pan out in the end, it seems to me.
The Rhodesians most eager for change supported politicians like Pat Bashford, a liberal who founded the Centre Party in 1969.
No video.
Yes video
