Default BMATT Zimbabwe

Hi folks

For years I have had this in my collection as British Military Assistance Training Team Zimbabwe but I also have the Union Jack badge with BMATT below.
Have I got this wrong? Is it Rhodesian perhaps ?
Cheers
Sean

Sean I have asked a well known collector of Rhodesian and Zimbabwean badges and he has confirmed it is a Zimbabwean badge, waiting on confirmation it is the School of Infantry badge., Wayne

I also tried several Google searches, but no luck finding anything on the Zimbabwe School of Infantry. I then tried a Facebook search and again no luck. Sorry
