Commentary
En 1923, la concession accordée à la British South Africa Company (BSAC) sur le territoire du Matabeleland n’est pas renouvellée. Le Rhodésie devient alors une colonie britannique qui sera fédérée en 1953 avec la Rhodésie du Nord et le Nyassaland..
In 1923, the concession granted to the British South Africa Company (BSAC) on the territory of Matabeleland was not renewed. Rhodesia then became a British colony which was federated in 1953 with Northern Rhodesia and Nyasaland.

Historical background
SOUTHERN RHODESIA
(1923-1965 then 1979-1980)
Between 1890 and 1923, the territory was administered by the British South Africa Company before becoming a colony in 1923. In 1964, following Northern Rhodesia's independence, the territory unilaterally renamed itself Rhodesia, which declared itself independent. In June 1979, the country briefly renamed itself Zimbabwe-Rhodesia. Faced with political instability, Rhodesia reverted to being a British colony between December 12, 1979, and April 18, 1980. Having gained independence on that date, the country is now known as Zimbabwe..
