"Rhodesians Never Die" is a Rhodesian patriotic song, written and first recorded by Rhodesian singer-songwriter Clem Tholet in 1973.[1] Though originally released as a pop song, its lyrics caused it to gain an iconic status amongst Rhodesians during the Rhodesian Bush War of the 1970s.[2] This song has caused the phrase "Rhodesians never die" to become a popular patriotic phrase amongst Rhodesians. That phrase also became a slogan amongst white supremacists.[3]
