Imperialist: Unveiling the Complex Legacy of Cecil Rhodes Cecil Rhodes, a name that evokes both admiration and condemnation, was an influential figure in the era of imperialism. Born in 1853, this British mining magnate and politician left an indelible mark on southern Africa's history as Prime Minister of the Cape Colony from 1890 to 1896.

However, it is important not to overlook alternative perspectives within these historical narratives. Davie Menpes' portrait captures Cecil Rhodes as a man admired by many contemporaries despite his controversial legacy. Some viewed him as an enlightened visionary whose efforts brought progress and development to Africa. The cartoon "My Boys.
