Years: 1888 - 1899
Cecil Rhodes, who had succeeded in monopolizing the diamond industry, is much less successful on the Rand, where his companies prove to be poorer producers than those of his competitors.
In the 1890s, he seeks to compensate for his lackluster performance by carving out a personal empire in present-day Zimbabwe, original site of the fifteenth-century gold industry of Great Zimbabwe.
There he rules the Ndebele and the Shona people through his British South Africa Company.
