I really enjoyed this series and found it historically accurate and very realistic. It is vital part of our Southern African history. It is a magnificent adventure story about a man who started from humble beginnings and became a colossus who changed the course of history.
All the University students in South Africa should be made to watch this series and learn something about the man they love to hate. Many people died during Rhodes' invasion and subjugation of Mashonaland and Matabeleland. A lot more would have died at the hands of Lobengula's impis if Rhodes had not invaded.
Those modern PC left wingers who try to criticize him show their ignorance. If they could achieve even 0.1% of what Rhodes achieved they could be proud. His methods may well be criticized but overall he did a lot more good than harm. Viva Rhodes Viva!
