SELOUS SCOUTS
The Selous Scouts was a special forces regiment of the Rhodesian Army that operated from 1973 until the reconstitution of the country as Zimbabwe in 1980. Named after the British explorer Frederick Selous (1851–1917), its motto was pamwe chete—a Shona phrase meaning "all together", "together only" or "forward together".
The charter of the Selous Scouts directed them to "the clandestine elimination of terrorism both within and without the country."
