RHODESIAN HISTORY:
A LOOK AT APRIL OVER THE YEARS
April - in the Northern Hemishpere the weather turns warm, the flowers blossom and Spring breaks forth. Not so in Rhodesia, it is the onset of Autumn - a time of clear skies, brilliant sunshine and colder weather. Yet for 1978, 1979 and 1980 it was a time for new Governments and big changes. White-majority rule came to an end, international isolation ended and Rhodesia was no more.
