 == Background section == 

 The Background section is not neutral point of view.  Rather than an NPOV and accurate description of the pre-UDI Rhodesia, it is an attempt to glorify the administration at this time.  For example, it describes it as a ""unique state which reflected its multiracial character"".  It was ""multiracial"" only in the obvious sense that it literally had people of multiple races, but the state did not respect people of non-white races in any meaningful sense.  Similarly, it says ""White residents, meanwhile, provided most of the colony's administrative [...] skills"".  They ""provided"" the administration in that the white administration (government) sought to retain power (hence, the UDI) and prevent democratic rule. 

 Key parts also make vague unquantifiable claims dependent on a single source of questionable reliability: http://www.countriesquest.com/africa/zimbabwe/history/settler_colony.htm (""owed little to foreign aid"", ""well-organised and praised for their efficiency"".  -  "
