About Cecil Rhodes
Cecil Rhodes was a British businessman, mining magnate, and politician in South Africa. He played a dominant role in Southern Africa in the late 19th century, overseeing the British South Africa Company and its expansion into territories that ultimately became Northern Rhodesia (Zambia) and Southern Rhodesia (Zimbabwe). Rhodes's ambition for British domination of Africa led to controversial policies and actions, including the establishment of the state of Rhodesia, named after him. His legacy is complex, reflecting both his economic success and his colonialist and imperialist beliefs.
