Signalétique Rhodes Matopos NP et Bulawayo aux abords du Parc de Matopos

The commemorative plaque of Cecil Rhodes at Westminster abbey in London. He was a British mining magnate and politician in southern Africa who served as Prime Minister of the Cape Colony from 1890 to 1896.

"THE LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY OF CAPE COLONY IN SESSION. This picture represents a sitting of the House of Assembly at Cape Town. The Right Hon. Cecil Rhodes, who was at that time Premier, occupies the place of honour on the right of the Speaker. The Speaker himself in his full-bottomed wig, the Clerks at the table, and the mace lying in front of them, all combine to tell their story of the British origin of this important Assembly. The portrait of her Majesty the Queen on the wall, and the Royal Arms over the Speaker's Chair, are emblems of the connection which the golden link of the Crown establishes between all parts of the British Empire. Members of the British House of Commons may well envy the comfortable scats and convenient desks with which the members of. the Cape Parliament are provided, and which contrast with the limited accommodation and inconvenient appliances of the Parliament at Westminster."
