White Rhodesia lost. White South Africa lost. The "terrorists" in the article represented the black majority who, to different degrees, existed without any human rights in those countries. For better or worse, justice was done when the white regimes were toppled either through war (Rhodesia) or through negotiations (SA). Those "terros" (Rhodesian term) were freedom fighters if I ever saw any, regardless the fact that they used terror as a weapon.

Still, interesting to read the losing side's version of Rhodesian civil war and SA's dirty war against ANC. I often meet paople who carried a FAL in pre-1979 Rhodesia. Interesting stories, I must say.
