Cecil Rhodes
Cecil Rhodes, who had a dream where a brotherhood of elite Anglo-Saxons (whites) would occupy all of Africa, the Holy Land in the Middle East, and other parts of the world, and ultimately the recovery of the United States of America by the British Empire.
I was a bit surprised to come across a statue of Cecil Rhodes in The Company’s Garden, [which was originally created in the 1650s by the region's first European settlers and provided fertile ground to grow fresh produce to replenish ships rounding the Cape].
Rhodes built a large empire in Southern Africa, but in doing so he disregarded the rights of the people—the “natives,” as he referred to them—already living on the lands that he claimed. Some of the legislation passed while he was prime minister of the Cape laid the groundwork for the discriminatory apartheid policies of South Africa in the 20th century.
