Cecil Rhodes made his fortune in Southern Africa, and when he died in 1903 he left it in a Trust that established the Rhodes Scholarships.

Nelson Mandela was South Africa’s first democratically elected president, serving from 1994 to 1999. But he was also one of the world’s most revered political prisoners, being imprisoned between 1962 and 1990.
