I knew Peter would love to see for himself the war that Intaf was fighting. It wasn't just 'hearts and minds'; it was in the case of Mudzi, Mtoko and Mrewa a 'hot' war especially after the withdrawal of the territorial army, the RAR, the Scouts, Fire Force, the Black Boots, Guard Force, the Coloured Protection Unit and the closure of JOC Mtoko and all relay stations / OPs in these three districts. The withdrawal of the above started in December 1977 and was completed by the end of 1978. The three districts were of no economic value to Rhodesia and was riddled with gooks who were sheltered and supported overtly by the Povo. Peter Terry-Lloyd saw and photographed a few CVs that had been set on fire by the gooks. Many stories can be told about happenings / events in these districts. Some we are proud of; others are best not to talk about. Did Intaf's 'hearts and minds' work? Overall, definitely "yes". Why? Because the Povo did not en mass rise up against the authority of the government and the latter's agents. Had the Povo risen against us, the war would have been over early in 1977. Please put me on your mailing list and what are the membership fees if any and banking details. Regards. Peter (Pieter) Henning, ex-Commander of B Echelon (Mashonaland East).

...A DAY WITH INTAF 0 1976<br />John Hill (BSAP) Writes:-<br />I was at Mapai late last year - the population there are still using similar carts to the one in your photo.<br /><br />A few hundred metres away from where I saw the cart was a standard African style 'business center' with a TV set powered by a solar panel marked 'TelkomSA'! I may have a photo. If I find it will send on to you.<br /><br />Ces la vie.Rhodesia Rememberedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06644511584084003690noreply@blogger.com
