Why they are here
A farmer and wartime pilot who, as prime minister, declared Rhodesia independent of Britain in 1965 to preserve white minority rule.
He led the country through the war of liberation until the transition to majority rule in 1979-1980.
His government upheld white minority rule and fought a war against the liberation movements in which tens of thousands died. He is included for his place in history, not as an example.
