C ountess Billie by Leonard Boucher Countess Billie was the first European woman to enter what was then Mashonaland, Rhodesia - now Zimbabwe. She was disguised as a boy and posed as the male companion of the Counte de la Panouse. This is her story. I first became acquainted with the Countess when, as a guest with the Zimbabwe History Society (formerly the Rhodesia History Society) I visited the home of Robert Isaacson situated on Avondale Ridge some fourteen miles outside Harare. There, in the beautifully set-out garden overlooking the hills separating Avondale from Harare, Robert spoke to our group of the adventures, courage and intrepidity of Fanny Pearson who became Countess Billie. It was on the site of Robert's house that Billie and the Vicomte de la Panouse had built three small stone living quarters and on the adjacent land had established a prosperous farm. Sorry, your browser doesn't support Java(TM). Soon after their first meeting, Fanny, an attractive young lady of eighteen, and Edmond became lovers. As the date of Edmond's departure grew near they knew they were passionately in love, but Edmond had to leave and there was a strict rule at that time that women and children were not allowed to enter Mashonaland; it was newly opened territory, life there was rough and tough, and even some of the most sturdy men - the first pioneers - had quickly given up and returned to a more comfortable life in South Africa. Fanny was not to be put off by thoughts of dangerous wild animals, hostile natives, the burning hot sun or any lack of civilized amenities. She would, she said, cross the border disguised as a man and she would change her name to Billie.

you are here home Africa Zimbabwe History ... White-Ruled Rhodesia History, White-Ruled Rhodesia In 1962 Nyasaland broke away from the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland, which was formally dissolved in 1963. Southern Rhodesia’s white settlers, now led by Ian Douglas Smith and his Rhodesian Front party, sought independence from Britain. However, Britain’s newly elected Labour government refused to agree to independence without significant constitutional reform that would provide for eventual black African rule. In November 1965 Smith announced the Unilateral Declaration of Independence for Rhodesia, severing ties to Britain. The United Nations (UN) quickly levied sanctions against the illegal nation. In 1969 Rhodesia formally declared itself a republic. Britain failed to take any decisive action against Rhodesia’s white government and in 1970 and 1971 tried to negotiate a settlement with Smith. Smith refused to make significant concessions and defied the weak international sanctions that had been imposed. Covertly supported by South Africa, another white-ruled state, the white Rhodesians held power without much difficulty until the mid-1970s. The first Zimbabwean nationalist parties had emerged in the 1950s, and the early political leader of stature was Joshua Nkomo. Nkomo led a number of political movements, most notably the Zimbabwe African People’s Union (ZAPU), which was formed in 1962 and supported largely by the Ndebele of the southwest. In 1963 the Zimbabwe African National Union (ZANU) was established by dissident Marxists who sought a more radical political stance. ZANU was led by Ndabaningi Sithole until he was replaced in 1976 by Robert Gabriel Mugabe. The colonial government banned both ZAPU and ZANU shortly after their creation, and the movements consequently developed as clandestine guerrilla groups seeking the overthrow of the white government.

Zimbabwe Africa HISTORY Archaeologists have found Stone-Age implements and pebble tools in several areas of Zimbabwe, a suggestion of human habitation for many centuries, and the ruins of stone buildings provide evidence of early civilization. The most impressive of these sites is the "Great Zimbabwe" ruins, after which the country is named, located near Masvingo. Evidence suggests that these stone structures were built between the 9th and 13th centuries A.D. by indigenous Africans who had established trading contacts with commercial centers on Africa's southeastern coast. In the 16th century, the Portuguese were the first Europeans to attempt colonization of south-central Africa, but the hinterland lay virtually untouched by Europeans until the arrival of explorers, missionaries, ivory hunters, and traders some 300 years later. Meanwhile, mass migrations of indigenous peoples took place. Successive waves of more highly developed Bantu peoples from equatorial regions supplanted the original inhabitants and are the ancestors of the region's Africans today. British Settlement and Administration In 1888, Cecil Rhodes obtained a concession for mineral rights from local chiefs. Later that year, the area that became Southern and Northern Rhodesia was proclaimed a British sphere of influence. The British South Africa Company was chartered in 1889, and the settlement of Salisbury (now Harare, the capital) was established in 1890. In 1895, the territory was formally named Rhodesia after Cecil Rhodes under the British South Africa Company's administration.

Chapter 56: The White Man's Burden: South Africa and Rhodesia PART FOUR: "FIRST WITH DIGNITY" - THE STORY OF RHODESIA In many respects, the country of Rhodesia serves as a vivid example of the impossibility of a White minority trying to impose its rule by force over a non-White majority. Whites can only exist safely in their own homogenous regions, and cannot hope to survive over the long term in multi-racial countries. If this is the one lesson which can be learned from the tragi-drama which was Rhodesia, then it will have been worthwhile. RHODESIA FOUNDED BY CECIL JOHN RHODES The country known in history as Rhodesia (now called Zimbabwe) was created in 1888, when a Black tribal chief in the area, one Lobengula, granted a mining concession to the British Empire builder Cecil John Rhodes. Rhodes, who also served as the prime minister of the British Colony at the Cape, formed the British South Africa Company to settle the new region. Above: Cecil John Rhodes, after whom the country of Rhodesia was named. He considered it not only valuable for its mineral wealth but also for its strategic position: with the creation of a British colony to the north of the then independent Boer Republics, Rhodes must have thought of encircling the Boers with this move.

Both means tests were accompanied by a simple language test in English. These voting qualifications that ensured de-juro equality (in theory at least) amongst the races were maintained until 1951, when the financial qualifications were raised. The Southern Rhodesia general election of April 29, 1924, was the first election to the Legislative Assembly of Southern Rhodesia following the grant of responsible government to the colony. It saw a comprehensive victory for the Rhodesia Party, which had been formed by the supporters of responsible government.
