On a mountainside above the seaside city of Cape Town, South Africa, stands a grandiose monument to Cecil John Rhodes, a controversial character in the development of Africa and the founder of the Rhodes Scholarships. In his 1877 "Confession of Faith", Rhodes stated: "I contend that we (the British) are the finest race in the world; and that the more of the world we inhabit, the better it is for the human race." (For more, see this Wikipedia article.)
These pictures were taken just after dawn on a morning in early summer.
i am currently managing a back packers lodge in Muizenberg Cape Town.(Blue Ocean's). it is believed that the property used to belong to Cecil J. Rhodes, presumed to have been his stables? would there be any available materials on this?
perhaps drawings, photographs or any other relevant historical information would be greatly appreciated. The current physical address is (no. 3 church street Muizenberg)
