In the history of South Africa which person is referenced and quoted most often? It’s not Nelson Mandela, or Shaka Zulu, or Jan Smuts, or HF Verwoerd, or Bishop Tutu. It’s Cecil Rhodes, by miles. He died in 1902 and even now in 2024, 122 years later, new books are being written and articles appear in the press and social media frequently. What makes this man so compelling to both sides of the social divide?

Join Chris at Rhodes Cottage, the largest Cecil Rhodes museum in the world, to learn a lot more about this remarkable man. Hear the Good, the Bad and the decidedly Ugly. Love him or hate him, you decide, but base your decision on facts.
