The  British South Africa Police  (BSAP  ) known by the natives as Vana Mudengu Muneyi was, for most of its existence, the police force of  Rhodesia.  It was formed as a paramilitary force of mounted infantrymen in 1889 by the British South African Company, from which it took its original name, the British South Africa Company's Police. Initially run directly by the company, it began to operate independently in 1896, at which time it also dropped "Company's" from its name. It thereafter served as Rhodesia's regular police force, retaining its name, until 1980, This is a BSAP centenary seat.
