The Assassination of Herbert Chitepo Mystery on the Rocks

    • Comedy

This week's episode, we pop to Africa and gross ourselves out by having to say 'Rhodesia' a lot. In 1975, Herbert Chitepo was assassinated by a car bomb, which was so powerful it also claimed the lives of others. Herbert was the first black barrister in Rhodesia and a prominent figure in the fight for independence and the reclamation of Zimbabwe.
However, some thought he was too moderate which means the list of suspects isn't just limited to his political enemies and the Rhodesian administration, but also potentially more militant rivals ostensibly on the same side.
So who planted the car bomb?
We also get sidetracked about the semantics of a head transplant (still not sure how) and give Timmy Mallett some props.
