Actually countries like Namibia, Tunisia,Algeria and Libya had more white settlers than Zimbabwe. There were also a lot of Portuguese in Angola and Mozambique.

I was only meaning they had more white settlers than other British colonies, so the "rule through local elites" thing didn't apply. Namibia was governed by South Africa during the colonial era so basically was South Africa until 1990. The other countries you mention weren't British.
