Cecil Rhodes

From Conservapedia

Cecil Rhodes (1853-1902) was an English-born South African capitalist and politician. He was the founder of the de Beers Company, which during his life time and to this day controlled and controls 90% of the world's diamond trade. He was also Prime Minister of Cape Colony. He was also the founder and head of the British South Africa Company and the virtual dictator of the British colony of Rhodesia. The Rhodes Scholarship, which is perhaps the most prestigious scholarship in the world, was enacted after his death according to his will.
