Technically that's the British South Africa Company flag, which was the second flag used in Rhodesia (North and South)

[@laboskie349]

For as long as one person remembers Rhodesia. It will never be forgotten.

I wish I was alive during Rhodesia's life.. I would've been honoured to support those folk.

What I find most intriguing about South African and Rhodesian History, are the parallels with the Taming of the West in America

[@xc8487]

Taming is an interesting way of saying genocide. You know, killing all the bison to starve the natives, the trail of tears, the lack of any hope on the reservations, and massacred villages that resisted.

[@normalplayer7377]

@@xc8487 Genocide is an interesting way of saying you are a hypocrite.

[@motorcop505]

Thank you from America for your songs and these videos. We listened to your songs in Ukraine with the 47th Assault Regt. Your songs are as timeless as the day they were written. They clearly gave the fighting men and women of Rhodesia extra heart through the long years of war. I especially love your songs for each unit. My favorites are the Rhodesia Regiment and Sweet Banana. I also loved your interview with Hannes Wessels on the Fighting Men of Rhodesia. God bless you John. ❤ 🇺🇸 ☲✪☲

[@thehardwallbreaker3134]

Greetings from America. I have loved your music ever since my friend introduced it to me in 2020. I've been singing these songs so much because of how much I love their stories, their tunes and, their music. It's just amazing and I can't thank you enough for producing this music.

[@pelonehedd7631]

I love these folk songs and also all of the Military songs and music. The rich culture the voices of the Black Troopies singing Sweet Banana as well as Your own in the Native language. I have the highest respect for all who Fought for the Preservation and Independence of Rhodesia. Be careful there in Russia and know that corrupt and evil governments fear their people being well armed. Those who keep and use arms to achieve and keep their liberty are part of the true brotherhood of Mankind.

[@NoorElahi1776]

Great song! Great history!
