dc.description.abstractDie tabakbedryf in Rhodesië (vandag Zimbabwe) het ongetwyfeld 'n kardinale rol in die ekonomiese ontwikkeling van Rhodesië gespeel. Sedert die Britse kolonialisering van Rhodesië gedurende die 1890's het die klem van goudontginning en algemene landbouproduksie geleidelik na die opkomende tabakbedryf verskuif. Alhoewel die maatskappybewind van die British South Africa Company die fondament van die bedryf gelê het, kon die teenwoordigheid van Afrikaners binne die tabakbedryf nie sonder meer ontken word nie. As oorwegend landelike gemeenskap is die toetrede van Afrikaners tot die bedryf egter dikwels deur allerlei probleme en mislukkings gestrem. As gevolg van verbeterde meganisasie, boerderypraktyke en omstandighede na die Tweede Wêreldoorlog, kon Afrikaners meer effektief aan die uitbreiding van die bedryf deelneem. Mettertyd sou hierdie Afrikanertabakboere insgelyks tot die verbouing van Rhodesië se primêre uitvoerkommoditeit bydra. Hierdie artikel het ten doel om die betrokkenheid, probleme en welvaart van Afrikanertabakboere binne die geskiedkundige konteks van die Rhodesiese tabakbedryf te bespreek.en_ZA
dc.description.abstractThe significance of the tobacco industry in the history of Rhodesia (today Zimbabwe) became in de facto inseparable from the economic development of the country. Since the British colonization of Rhodesia during the 1890's, the emphasis on gold mining and ordinary agricultural produce gradually shifted to the evolving tobacco farming. Although it had been the rule of the British South Africa Company that ultimately laid the foundations of the tobacco industry, the presence of Afrikaners within the industry cannot be disregarded. Considered to be a farming community, the initial endeavours and embarkation of Afrikaner farmers in the industry were more often than not hampered by problems and failure. Due to improved mechanization, farming practices and circumstances after the Second World War, Afrikaners could more effectively and with greater prospect partake in the expansion of the industry. Afrikaner tobacco farmers over time contributed in the cultivation of Rhodesia's primary export commodity. This article seeks to address the involvement, problems and enrichment of Afrikaner tobacco farmers in the historical context of the Rhodesian tobacco industry.
