Rhodesia. No reasons were given, but the move followed an order issued by the regime in December 1976, banning Harris from every Joint Operations Centre in the country. He had emigrated to Rhodesia from Britain in March 1976, and had covered a number of major stories, including the killing of three South African tourists on the Fort Victoris- Beit Bridge road, alleged Frelimo "bombardments" of Rhodesian border posts, and the killing of 27 tea estate workers in the Hande valley.
Claus Toksvig, a Danish journalist who was invited to Rhodesia by the state-run Broadcasting Corporation to take part in a television panel discussion on "Rhodesia's image worldwide", was barred from entering the country in March. Mr Toksvig, who lived in Rhodesia before UDI and is the London-based correspondent for Danish Radio, made two reporting trips to Rhodesia during 1976. He subsequently prepared an illustrated report for Danish radio and television on the construction of new military airfields by the regime. There have been allegations that these projects are being built with the assistance of US technicians.
Dr Selwin Spray, an American doctor working at the Mount Selinda Mission near Chipinga since 1975, was ordered to leave Rhodesia on 31 March. A spokesman for the regime said that Dr Spray had been told his temporary permit to work in Rhodesia would not be renewed, but "we never give reasons". An appeal was lodged.
