• ... that Lieutenant Colonel Andrew Rawlins proposed that the Rhodesian Army employ witchdoctors as psychological warfare during the Rhodesian Bush War? "because information was crucial to success, Rawlins argued the only way to obtain it was by counter-intimidation and the use of witchcraft ... he proposed the formation of psychological tams at major centres, ready to reinforce local operations. The teams would comprise serving and retired Internal Affairs district commissioners and their staff, using chief's 'witchdoctors' and the like, who had a thorough knowledge of the rural people" from: Wood, J. R. T. (2012). A Matter of Weeks Rather Than Months: The Impasse Between Harold Wilson and Ian Smith Sanctions, Aborted Settlements and War 1965-1969. Trafford Publishing. p. 129.
