Cecil+Rhodes2

Cecil John Rhodes was born on July 5, 1853 and died March 26, 1902. He was an English man that lived in South Africa and was the founder of the diamond company named De Beers. He believed in imperialism which makes sense for him to be the founder of Rhodesia.

Cecil John Rhodes took interest in agriculture and he joined his brother Herbert on his cotton farm. He then established the Rhodes Fruit Farms in the colony. He then left the colony for the diamond field of Kimberly. He came to Africa and supported his money that his aunt Sophia lent him.
