Retired account. Follow @AngloSaffer if you want to hear from me personally.

If you still want to hear from me personally follow @AngloSaffer. Not much Rhodesia talk over there but plenty on South Africa.

I am retiring this account. I would like to thank everyone that has engaged with me over the last year and a bit. I hope I have positively contributed to the discourse on Rhodesia in my own small way. Account will stay up, but I won't be posting to it.

Using a diff-in-diff framework, I've estimated the impact of the 1913 Natives Land Act on South Africa's demographics at the magisterial district level. Districts that contained Native Land Areas saw large relative declines in Native population shares and Native population in 3 out of 4 provinces. Nationally, we see about a 5 percentage point decline in Native population shares and 24% decline in Native population compared to untreated districts.

Really fantastic stuff if you're interested in South Africa and what people are doing to combat Zimbabwefication where it's most advanced outside of Zimbabwe itself. Well worth it.

Essentially: "should we work with afrikaners and wrestle with them for control or let them have their country and we have our own?" And then just walk into a poll and knock yourself out.

[Rhodesia @ProjectRhodesia]

Rhodesia and Natal were both given the chance to join SA via referendum. Neither should have joined, but Rhodesia probably should have once Natal already did. Diverging paths lead to a divided english population in Southern Africa. Neither group got what they wanted.

[Lunga @LungaMrhetjha]

If the white population of Rhodesia had voted in favour of joining the Union of South Africa in 1922, Zim would be the 10th province today.

Not so long ago, places like Taung and Vryburg were not even in SA. They were part of the British Protectorate (Botswana).

Borders neh😅

A quick rummage through my coin jar and found: a half cent from South Africa (1961), 2 Zambia (1968), 2 Rhodesia (1964), 1 Southern Rhodesia (1936), 2 Rhodesia and Nyasaland (1962 and 1963), and 3 Zimbabwe (1994 ×2 and 1980).

[Rhodesia @ProjectRhodesia]

@LeslieKayRwafa @daddyhope @advocatemahere @Rhodesiaonsol Very cool. I have a couple from around the same time. Always a treat to find one.

[Rhodesia @ProjectRhodesia]

@rafaelcabrera Would be glad to. Send me a DM well in advance of whenever you're planning to have one. I only check DMs every couple of days.

[Rhodesia @ProjectRhodesia]

@ElMatapollosSV Im far better versed in the political developments of the country. On that front i am more than happy to have a chat to anyone. The cultural side is quite different. Just DM me if you want a private chat.

[Rhodesia @ProjectRhodesia]

@ElMatapollosSV Thank you. I appreciate anyone who took the time to read what I wrote. All the best to you too.

[Rhodesia @ProjectRhodesia]

@coalakowski There is so much more it's amazing. However, I simply do not have the time or energy to continue, and it's only going to be more difficult going forward.

[Rhodesia @ProjectRhodesia]

Keep fighting the good fight @Rhodesiaonsol. Very much thanks to you that this account grew to where it is. I appreciate it, so thank you in particular.

[AngloSaffer 🇻🇦 @AngloSaffer]

It was fun. I learned a lot about history as a practice and its methods. Times like these when I wish there was a second me I could delegate to. Ah well... I hope it helped some people along the way.

[Rhodesia @ProjectRhodesia]

I will still retain access to this account if anyone wants to contact me (or just @ me to ask questions).

“Why should we not form a secret society with but one object, the furtherance of the British Empire and the bringing of the whole world under British rule, for the recovery of the United States, for making the Anglo-Saxon race but one Empire?”

- Cecil Rhodes (1877)

[Rhodesia @ProjectRhodesia]

Today we simultaneously commemorate the end of the First World War 107 years ago and Rhodesia's declaration of independence 60 years ago. The UDI date was chosen as a symbol of Rhodesia's loyalty and sacrifice to the British Empire during the World Wars.

[Rhodesia @ProjectRhodesia]

Rhodesians were always eager to defend the Empire and WW1 was no exception. No conscription was needed. So what exactly was Rhodesia’s contribution to The Great War? A story of sacrifice, loyalty, and forgotten heroism. 🧵
