A www.MyZA.co.za Northern Cape South Africa selected video for you:
The Kimberley Club was founded in August 1881, by Cecil John Rhodes, then only 28 years of age. It was on the veranda of this club that he worked on most of his ideas, including the colonization of the land north and south of the Zambezi River, then named in his honour as Northern- and Southern Rhodesia. Today these are the countries of Zambia and Zimbabwe.
The billiard room of the club was the setting for the famous deal between Barney Barnato and Rhodes in 1881, whereby Rhodes acquired Barnato’s share of the Kimberley diggings for just over four million pounds, the single biggest check written in that time.
