Cecil John Rhodes Who the heck is/was he?.
You'll have to ask Bill Clinton
If you are still not sure, check out the following site produced in homage to Mr Rhodes:

There are plenty of other views about his role in history. Google to get a selection of views.
This site http://slate.msn.com/TVReview/98-01-10/TVReview.asp gives a flavour of the BBC series "Rhodes". There are even less charitable views of Mr Rhodes' life around. The comment "Rhodes was no 19th-century Hitler. He wasn't so much a freak as a man of his time." characterises the reviewer's viewpoint.
