Rhodesia was called the breadbasket of Africa and produced enough food for of southern Africa; Zimbabwe cannot even feed its own people. Average life expectancy in Rhodesia was 60 years; life expectancy in Zimbabwe is 37 years, the lowest in the world.

So because Ian Smith's successor was one of the brutal dictators in the world is supposed to excuse the fact that he headed a blatantly racist regime that supressed a people's right to self-determination?
