White Zimbabweans (formerly White Rhodesians) are a Southern African people of European descent. In linguistic, cultural, and historical terms, these people of European ethnic origin are mostly English-speaking descendants of British settlers. A small minority are either Afrikaans-speaking descendants of Afrikaners from South Africa or those descended from Greek, Portuguese, Italian, and Jewish immigrants.[3] They represent 0.16% of the Zimbabwean population according to the 2022 census.[5]
