- Description
- "In 1894 with troops massing on the border and Maxim guns taking aim, Cape Prime Minister Cecil Rhodes forced the King of Mpondo iKumkani Mqikela ka Sigcau to finally submit to Colonial rule. A year later, intoxicated by power, Rhodes arbitrarily imprisoned King Mqikela. This when President Jacob Zuma deposed his descendant iKumkani Mpondombini Justice Sigcau as King of Mpondo in 2010, the ghost of Cecil John Rhodes hovered fatefully over the court battle that unfolded over the next three years. When the Constitutional Court handed down judgement seven weeks later the Promise of Justice was fulfilled."
