Since the establishment of colonial rule in Natal in the 1840s, the colonial government had aimed to bring chiefs under control and to weaken their powers. In the 1870s the pace at which chiefly authority was undermined increased. This dissertation begins in the mid-1870s because this was when white settlers in Natal gradually began to get more influence over native affairs because of important shifts in British policies in South Africa.

    PUBLICATION No. 38 MARCH, 1978 THOMAS MEIKLE, 1862-1939 The founder of the Meikle Organisation sailed from Scotland with his parents in 1869. The family settled in Natal where Thomas and his brothers John and Stewart gained their first farming ex­ perience. In 1892 the three brothers set off for Rhodesia with eight ox- wagons. Three months later they had completed the 700 mile trek to Fort Victoria. Here they opened a store made of whisky cases and roofed over with the tarpaulins that had covered their wagons. Progress was at first slow, nevertheless, branches were opened in Salisbury in 1893, Bulawayo and Gwelo in 1894, and in Umtali in 1897. From these small beginnings a vast network of stores, hotels, farms, mines and auxilliary undertakings was built up. These ventures culminated in the formation of the Thomas Meikle Trust and Investment Company in 1933. The success of these many enterprises was mainly due to Thomas Meikle's foresight and his business acumen, coupled with his ability to judge character and gather around him a loyal and efficient staff. His great pioneering spirit lives on: today the Meikle Organisation is still playing an important part in the development of Rhodesia. THOMAS MEIKLE TRUST AND INVESTMENT CO. (PVT.) LIMITED.

  • Rhodes W Fairbridge
    RHODES W. FAIRBRIDGE Richard Mackey Canberra [email protected] Introduction Rhodes W Fairbridge, one of Australia’s most accomplished intellectuals and an early expert on climate change, died on 8th November, 2006 in his home in the historic town of Amagansett, overlooking the Atlantic on the northern edge of Long Island, New York.1 He was 92 and had remained an Australian citizen all of his life. One of Australia’s most accomplished intellectuals, Rhodes W. Fairbridge was born in what is now Fairbridge Village in Western Australia in 1914 and was named after his father’s friend and mentor, Cecil Rhodes. Rhodes had spent his boyhood in the idyllic setting of Fairbridge Village, working closely with his parents. Rhodes had little formal schooling until the age of 10 when his father died unexpectedly in 1924, aged only 39. Rhodes was taken to England, where he attended a new experimental school in Hampshire. It was here that his lifelong interest in geology, science and maps was established. Whilst his undergraduate education was at Queen’s University, Ontario and Oxford, he was awarded a Doctorate of Science from the University of Western Australia in 1944, at the age of 30, bypassing the usual PhD prerequisite. The main parts of the thesis, Subaqueous Sliding and Slumped Blocks, formed Rhodes’ first two scientific publications in 1946 and 1947 (Fairbridge, 1946a, 1946b). Rhodes was also with the RAAF in General MacArthur’s headquarters during 1943 to 1945, as Deputy-Director of Intelligence. After the war Rhodes lectured in Geology at the University of Western Australia.

  • But Why 1890 to 1914? 1890 Was the Year When Cecil Rhodes Managed
    But why 1890 to 1914? 1890 was the year when Cecil Rhodes managed at last to consolidate his empire north of the Zambezi. In 1914, though the lights did not go out all over Africa, they were sufficiently dimmed by war and the subsequent economic depression to halt die initial impetus of development in Rhodesia. These twenty-four years were surely the most essential in Zambia’s progress into the modern world. The dialectical historian of Africa might ascribe this progress simply to copper; another might say that it was due to the northward thrust of the railway; or to the swift advance of tropical medicine, combating the tsetse and mosquito; yet another to the establishment of sound adminstration founded on missionary endeavour. The more discerning might ascribe it to the happy coincidence of all these factors, galvanised by the energy of Rhodes, that “brooding spirit”, as Kipling called him; for northern Rhodesia fell astride die highway of his dream. Let us look at Rhodes’s incursion north of die Zambezi and then briefly at some of these main forces, and, where possible, interrelate them. In 1890 his empire ended on the shores of the great river barrier of the Zambezi. North-west are the low swampy plains of Barotseland and the Kafue basin, and to the north-east the plateau that extends down through east Africa and continues on to Natal. Like the traders and explorers, including Livingstone himself, the earliest missionaries entered northern Rhodesia from Bechuanaland or Lobengula’s country, where, by the Rudd Concession of 1888, Rhodes had forced the Chief to grant him the full mineral rights of his kingdom.

The success of these many enterprises was mainly due to Thomas Meikle's foresight and his business acumen, coupled with his ability to judge character and gather around him a loyal and efficient staff. His great pioneering spirit lives on: today the Meikle Organisation is still playing an important part in the development of Rhodesia. THOMAS MEIKLE TRUST AND INVESTMENT CO. (PVT.) LIMITED.

  • R. Rouphail Revised Final Thesis
    ABSTRACT ROUPHAIL, ROBERT MICHAEL. Putting Race in its Place: Race, Empire and Spaces of Belonging in Colonial Kenya, 1890s-1960s. (Under the direction of Owen Kalinga, David Ambaras, Akram Khater and Kenneth Vickery). This thesis investigates how local politics of land ownership and global currents of imperial knowledge production informed racial thought in colonial Kenya. Employing Timothy Mitchell’s analytic tool of “enframing,” the project first assesses how white settlers and British colonial administrators worked together to construct a logic of racial territoriality against a perceived threat of racial contamination through Indian settlement in the so-called White Highlands. This was done, I argue, by situating the “place” of the White Highlands in the “space” of the larger British Empire, through which knowledge produced on race, science and governance informed local political decisions. The second chapter argues that Indians in Kenya had created an alternative spatial framework that mobilized the political, economic and social authority of the British Raj in support of South Asian political claims in East Africa. The final chapter argues that the spatial paradigms of the British Empire and the Raj- governed Indian Ocean sphere deployed in the first thirty years of the century collapsed in the 1940s. Subsequent spatial imaginaries emphasized a contiguous White Africa in the case of settlers, while South Asians constructed a new Indian Ocean realm defined through anti- colonial nationalism and political non-alignment. The project draws from the online British National Archives, the Kenya National Archives at Syracuse University, collections of the periodicals held at North Carolina State University, and extensive secondary literature.
