On this episode of the Foil Life Podcast, we sit down with Kieran Sammon, founder of Exit Watersports — Irish kiter, 2006 national amateur freestyle champion, automation engineer by day, and the person who turned a broken kids' trampoline into a wetsuit hanger.He talks Rhodes 2002, a January lesson in 4°C Irish water, building the IKSA, bringing the KSP Wave Tour to Achill with Aer Lingus and Hertz, a cancer scare in 2010, and why he still prefers boosting and smacking waves on a kite even as he chips away at winging and foilable swell. Then he walks through the products that grew out of not being able to dry a suit properly: the wide hex-cut XRail, the SUX suction mount, the 70-litre oval BUX change bucket, the XTEND windchill layer Hannah Whiteley called a game changer, plus Mavericks, Dry Bell, and what's coming next.Kieran covers the path from a second-hand Whipica LTR to a shed prototype in 2014, finding industrial designer Rudo Enserink, launching in late 2019 just before COVID, and the retailer feedback that one product is not a brand. Luc covers multi-day van trips, Thule boxes that never dry, and why a hanger that actually stands off the wall (or the car window) matters when you're camping, commuting, or trying to get a suit dry before the next session.Episode Highlights:- First kite lesson: instructor sat in the car and said go play- Consistency beat raw talent for the 2006 Irish amateur title- Original XRail built from 25 mm trampoline tubing cantilevered off a shower pole- 75 mm width + hex holes so air reaches every surface, plus bungees for five accessories- SUX Mark II: pump suction and an adjustable nut so the rail stays level on a sloped van window- BUX: 70 L, watertight, stand-in oval stance, perforated removable base, XRail slot- XTEND PU-coated lycra over the wetsuit to kill evaporative cooling- Mavericks paddle trainer and Dry Bell sand-fill travel kettlebell already in the US- XOVER change robe (overlap / trench-coat mode) and inflatable CORE bench still in prototype- Stock from Dublin across Ireland, UK and Europe; limited US warehouse- Code FOILLIFEEUROPE10 for 10% off at exitwatersports.com- Open call: anyone flying Europe → Mauritius, Luc needs a BUX in the holdVisit: https://exitwatersports.com

Sparta's biggest breakthrough after Sicily isn't a new tactic or a better admiral. It's cash, and Persia is willing to pay. The problem is that Persian money comes with Persian priorities, and those priorities don't include a powerful Spartan navy controlling the Aegean.I trace how the Ionian War heats up in 412–411 BC, from the fighting around Miletus to the scramble for control of Chios and the shock of Rhodes breaking away from the Athenian Empire. We watch Athens absorb losses, regroup from Samos, and keep fleets at sea even while allies revolt. On the other side, Spartan commanders hesitate to risk a decisive naval battle, their crews grow restless, and Persian satrap Tissaphernes repeatedly reshapes the financial deal that's supposed to keep the Peloponnesian fleet afloat.At the center is Alcibiades, making one of the most consequential pivots of the Peloponnesian War: he slips from Sparta into Persian protection and becomes an advisor to Tissaphernes. His guidance is cold-blooded and strategic: pay Sparta irregularly, prevent either Greek power from winning outright, and let Athens and Sparta grind each other down while Persia rebuilds influence in Ionia. That logic collides with Spartan “liberation” rhetoric, shows up in messy treaty negotiations, and points straight toward the next crisis, the fracture of Athenian politics and the looming oligarchic revolution.If you're following ancient Greece history, Thucydides, Aegean naval warfare, or the high-stakes diplomacy that decides empires, this chapter is packed with turning points.

The Ndebele chief said the Rudd concession document did not reflect his verbal agreements. His induna's who'd negotiated the concession disputed the terms as well, along with missionary Charles Helms who'd translated for Lobengula. Nevertheless, chief negotiator Charles Rudd had returned to Kimberley clutching the concession, a single page document which purported to give Rhodes' British South Africa company sole rights to mining gold throughout Matabeleland and Mashonaland, and other adjacent territories, in exchange for one thousand Martini Henry Rifles, 100 000 rounds of ammunition, one hundred pounds, and a gunboat on the Zambezi River. Lobengula said he'd only agreed to the rights for ten men to dig for gold at one spot rather than the general rights throughout the region to the north of the Limpopo river. Once they discovered what Rhodes was claiming, some Ndebele induna's threatened to revolt. At least one, Gambo, approached the Boers of the Transvaal. To the East, there was also much trouble brewing in Manicaland. That lay between Delagoa Bay and the highlands of eastern Mashonaland, where the Portuguese lay claim. In a nutshell, like the headwaters of the Nile and the importance of the Suez Canal, the vast territories north of the Limpopo became the means through which southern Africa and the Cape could be controlled by the British Empire. The discovery of gold on the Witwatersrand gave the Transvaal the cash to expand northwards and towards the coast and the Boers could rival the existing British dominance in the region north of the Cape. The Portuguese had ancient claims to Mozambique, stretching back almost 500 years and they posed a threat to the sea route between England and India. Then in 1887 Portugal laid claim to the a swath of land stretching coast to coast from Mozambique to Angola through the region north of the Limpopo. In the British colonial office, Lord Salisbury of the conservative party was trying to stymie the Portuguese, and supported Cecil John Rhodes at least nominally, but only north of the Limpopo. The more grandiose all red-route touted by Rhodes of the Cape to Cairo was a pipedream, thought Salisbury. He brushed aside the Portuguese protests based on their pre-existing treaties signed by Mashonaland chiefs stretching back to 1629, but then was warned that a Portuguese expedition had set off from the coast led by Colonel Joaquim Carlos Pavia d'Andrada heading towards Mashonaland. Backed by the newly created Companhia de Mozambique he was joined by Manuel Antonio de Sousa - half Portuguese, half African, mixed race soldier feared by the British because he had mobilised 7000 black irregulars — local warriors. Before they arrived in upper Manicaland, Lobengula's two emissaries would arrive in London. Babayane and Mshete were joined by Edward Maund, Rhodes' adversary in the concession-making business, and Natal translator, John Colenbrander. As you heard last episode, the emissaries carried two bits of information. One was a letter for Queen Victoria, complaining of Portuguese threats to his east, the other was for the Queen's ears only, and would be delivered verbally directly to her, face-to-face. Lobengula was going to formally renounce the Rudd concession. Eventually, on February 6 1889, Maund, Colenbrander, Babayane and Mshete boarded the the steamship Moor, and sailed to London. The next day, a telegram arrived at Robinson's official residence, apparently the Queen wouldn't have enough time to meet the envoys because she was preparing for a European trip. Robinson was relieved. Perhaps all the waylaying was going to work out and he wondered, were Babayane and Mshete on a doomed mission?

Sunday evening message. A very challenging, thought provoking message for the practicing Conservative Mennonite. Feel free to leave a comment.
Have you ever tried so hard to fix your husband's health that you ended up more exhausted than he is, thinking, "I could fix you if you'd just let me"?I've been there more times than I want to admit, and so has my friend Dr. Heather Rhodes. We sat down this week for a real, sometimes uncomfortable conversation about what's actually happening in your husband's body and hormones, and what your role is in all of it. Spoiler alert: your role is smaller than you think, and somehow also way more powerful than you think.We're talking low testosterone, gut health, mood, motivation, that "he just seems off lately" feeling you can't quite name. We also talk about the approach most women try first that tends to backfire, and what actually works when you're ready to stop pushing and start something different.Here's what we get into:Why low testosterone is almost always a messenger, not the actual problem, and what it's usually pointing back toThe everyday habit quietly tanking testosterone in more men than you'd guess, and it has nothing to do with the gym or his plateWhat "masculine and feminine energy" actually means in practical terms, not the woo-woo version, the version that changes how your household runs The phrase Heather uses with her clients that flips "how do I get him to change" into a completely different questionThe physical stuff behind that dad bod, low energy, and short fuse, and the layer underneath it that's easy to missWhy trying to push your husband into masculine energy by going more masculine yourself is the exact thing keeping you both stuckNow let's go a little deeper, because I know some of you clicked play with a very specific husband in mind.Maybe it's the exhaustion that showed up out of nowhere. Maybe it's the belly fat, or the way he seems scattered, or glued to his phone, or just not quite himself anymore. You've noticed, and you've probably said something. Gently the first few times, less gently after that, and it hasn't landed the way you hoped.Heather and I talk about something I wish someone had told me years ago. A man's body works like a blueprint. Whatever goes into the system - sleep, minerals, food, stress - is what comes out the other side. Just like with our own hormones, the hormone itself is rarely the real story. It's a sign pointing to something underneath that's out of balance.We walk through what that looks like in real marriages, including ours. Seed oils and processed food quietly wrecking blood sugar. Gut inflammation from too much protein powder, which is a real thing and catches a lot of "healthy" guys off guard. The screen habits messing with dopamine and testosterone in ways most people have no idea about.But the physical piece isn't even what stuck with me most from this conversation.We spend real time on the energetics, what it actually means to live in feminine energy versus masculine energy, and why so many of us think we're doing it right when we're still quietly trying to control the outcome. If you've ever caught yourself managing his schedule, tracking his moods, or resenting him for not doing the thing you already decided he should do, this one's going to feel a little exposing. Good kind of exposing.We also get into healthy versus unhealthy masculinity, because that difference matters more than most people realize, and we get honest about the fear that shows up when you stop controlling and start trusting. That gap between letting go and watching if he steps up can feel terrifying to sit in, and we talk about why sitting in it anyway is where the actual shift happens.If you're the woman who's been carrying the mental load for your whole household, wondering why he's not getting it even though you've explained it a hundred different ways, this episode gives you language for what's really going on, and a genuinely different place to start.So here's my challenge for you this week. Before you say one more word to him about what he should be doing differently, ask yourself what you're doing to feel safe, full, and clear in your own energy. Start there. Let him surprise you with what happens next.CONNECT WITH DR. HEATHER:WebsiteIG: @drheatherrhodesNEED HELP FIXING YOUR HORMONES?

Her club combines reading with walks across London's Hampstead Heath and Regent's Park. So far she's taken members for over 160 walks to discuss the same number of books. She's also formed an important charity - Bookbanks. Charlie, Emily and her dog Alfie take a walk through the brambles, leaves and trees of Hampstead Heath to talk about the power of reading to bring people together.

Where Should You Go in Greece for Ancient History? | Aristotle Koskinas on Hidden Gems & Must-See SitesPlanning a trip to Greece? Some of its greatest archaeological treasures are hiding in plain sight—and even at famous sites like Delphi, visitors can walk straight past monuments that changed Greek history.So where should an ancient history lover actually go?In this episode of Classical Wisdom Speaks, Anya Leonard speaks with archaeologist and veteran tourist guide Aristotle Koskinas for an insider's journey through Greece—from Olympia, Delphi and Thermopylae to Naxos, Santorini, Rhodes and remarkable sites most tourists never see.With more than 20 years as a guide and experience of hundreds of archaeological sites, Aristotle explains not only where to go, but what to look for once you get there.At Olympia, we explore the ancient Olympic Games and the workshop where Phidias created the enormous gold-and-ivory Statue of Zeus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.At Delphi, Aristotle takes us beyond the famous Temple of Apollo to inscriptions, treasuries and monuments connected to the Persian Wars—some so easily overlooked that visitors walk straight past them without realizing their importance.Then there's Thermopylae. Where exactly did Leonidas and the 300 Spartans make their famous last stand? Aristotle explains how archaeology and the landscape can change the way we understand one of antiquity's most legendary battles.But Greece is much more than its most famous sites.We also discover quieter archaeological gems near Athens, the ancient city of Messene, the spectacular Royal Tombs at Vergina, and islands where extraordinary landscapes meet thousands of years of history—from ancient marble quarries on Naxos and Bronze Age Akrotiri on Santorini to medieval Chios and Rhodes.Whether you're planning your next Greek holiday or exploring from home, grab a pen and paper—this is an archaeologist's guide to the Greece most visitors miss.Key Topics:The best archaeological sites in GreeceAncient Olympia and the original Olympic GamesPhidias and the Statue of ZeusWhat visitors miss at DelphiAncient inscriptions and the Persian WarsWhy Plataea deserves more attentionRethinking the battlefield of ThermopylaeLeonidas and the 300 SpartansHidden archaeological gems near AthensThe Sanctuary of Amphiaraos and RhamnousAncient MesseneThe Royal Tombs at VerginaNaxos and its ancient marbleAkrotiri and ancient SantoriniThe medieval treasures of ChiosAncient and medieval RhodesTimestamps:00:00 What everyone misses at Delphi00:39 An insider's guide to Greece01:52 Meet Aristotle Koskinas05:03 Layers of Greek history07:03 Greece's must-see sites07:12 Ancient Olympia09:15 What tourists miss at Olympia12:50 The secrets of Delphi16:38 Monuments everyone walks past19:25 Greece's must-see battlefields19:45 Why visit Plataea?22:22 Rethinking Thermopylae25:40 Greece's hidden archaeological gems26:28 Sanctuary of Amphiaraos27:40 Ancient Rhamnous28:54 Ancient Messene30:01 Royal Tombs at Vergina32:31 Greece's best islands for history33:08 Naxos34:44 Santorini & Akrotiri35:24 Chios42:30 Ancient & medieval Rhodes44:02 The splendor of GreeceIf you could visit just one archaeological site in Greece tomorrow, where would you go—Delphi, Olympia, Thermopylae, Akrotiri, or somewhere completely off the beaten track?Let us know in the comments, and subscribe to Classical Wisdom for more conversations exploring the people, places and ideas of the ancient world.

If you have access to Google Maps, or preferably, an original wall map of Africa, stand back for a moment to savour the grand vista which is southern Africa. Living on the tip looking upwards creates a culture of outwardness, a mental and psychological state of eternal expansion. Despite this grandiosity, for many, it is a place of entrapment, they express sentiments of being stuck at the end of Africa, peering outwards to the continents of Europe, or America, Australasia with a sense of longing. It is as though we are fenced in by our own preconceptions, endlessly scrolling through the timelines of the grand and glorious X Y or Z generation gallavanting through the safe woods of Croatia, swimming along the elegant isles of the Med, wondering at the delights of the Barrier Reef. Croatia, of course, is where European-based ethnic cleansing took place in 1995. Europe is where almost 50 million died 70 years ago in a world war. America has been transfixed by a form of national socialism, Australia faces Chinese hegemony. Still, humans are a strange bunch, history a distant ship smoke on the horizon. It is a pitiful state where middle-class South Africans appear to have become transfixed by the myth of greengrassism. Where the grass is always greener on the other side. Our ancestors made their way into south Africa with a very different set of personal codes. From the earliest San, the Khoekhoe, then the Bantu settlers, then the European settlers, all arrived in this territory with plans and dreams. The dream may have been purely survival, or seeking treasure, for some it was purely adventure, for others, a combination of the above. But all of our ancestors had a plan which involved movement, migration, heading out to the next vista with necessities of whatever sort packed away and taken along. They were stoked by imagination, courageous, expansive. Looking at that southern African map a few important facts leap out. There are three main corridors from the south to the centre. One lies to the East, which can be tricky as it harbours fevers, faster flowing rivers, and inhabitants stretching back millennia. The centre is cooler in places, it is higher ground, but it also suffers from a lack of water, slow flowing larger rivers, and as you move north, geology plays tricks on you. To the west, well, there's a bloody great series of deserts, marching from the Karoo, Namaqualand, to the Kalahari, into the Namib, then into the Angolan plateau. Good luck using that route, even these days. Take a Land Cruiser with spare tanks, tyres and don't forget the satellite phone. There are a few important characters in this episode. One is Lobengula kaKhumalo, the descendant of Mzilikazi who had led his followers away from Shaka. You know his story if you've followed this series. Lobengula was crowned king of Ndebele in 1868 after a short, sharp civil war, at the great place called Mhlanhlandlela. He had long been tolerant of the Boer and English hunters who showed up as his home in Matabeleland, and in 1870 had even granted Sir John Swinburne's London and Limpopo Mining Company the right to search for gold along the Tati River — between the Shashe and Ramaquabane Rivers. N those days, the whole of Ireland was part of the United Kingdom, but people like MacNeill were working towards Home Rule. In what can only be called a head scratcher, Rhodes fell in with the nationalists. He knew that they had 85 seats in the British parliament and were strategically important, many times when the Liberal Party and the Conservative Party were at loggerheads, it was the Irish Parliamentary Party that turned into King-makers, holding the balance of power in the House of Commons.

“They Never Had to Choose” is a raw, grown-folks Neo-Soul record about what fatherhood looks like when relationships change but responsibility doesn't. It tells the story of a father navigating a difficult relationship with the mother of his children, swallowing his pride, making sacrifices, and refusing to let adult problems become his children's burden. Even as life moves forward—remarriage, a new home, and a growing family—his commitment remains the same. Different homes. Different chapters. Same father. Same love. At its heart is one simple promise: Whatever happened between the adults, the children would never have to choose sides. Built around gritty Neo-Soul production, warm Rhodes, deep bass, live drums, Hammond organ, and a raw, emotional vocal performance, this is for every father who kept showing up—even when showing up wasn't easy. “I don't have old children and new children. I just have my children.”
“Closer Tonight” is a grown-folks Neo-Soul/R&B slow jam built around desire, vulnerability, and the kind of intimacy that doesn't need to be explained. It's a man's direct but tender plea to the woman he loves—no games, no slick lines, just an invitation to shut out the world and get a little closer. Sultry falsetto vocals float over gospel-infused harmonies, warm Rhodes, Hammond organ, melodic bass, and a loose behind-the-beat groove that gives the record its hypnotic late-night pocket. Church-bred harmony stacks meet grown-and-sexy R&B for a sound that feels intimate, soulful, and unapologetically mature.
“Still I Stand” is a raw Neo-Soul/Trap-Soul anthem about the weight a Black man carries while trying to remain strong for the people who depend on him. Behind the strength are bills, pressure, sleepless nights, uncertainty, and struggles he rarely talks about—but giving up isn't an option. Driven by warm Rhodes, deep 808s, soulful harmonies, and a gritty, church-bred vocal performance, the song speaks to fathers, husbands, providers, and every man quietly fighting battles while still showing up for his family. The pressure is heavy. The road is rough. But still… I stand.
“Right On Time (Nicola)” is a grown-folks neo-soul love story about realizing that sometimes your forever has been standing beside you all along. After 25 years of friendship, love finally found its moment. Ten years later, that friendship has grown into something deeper, stronger, and built to last. With warm Rhodes, a deep-pocket live groove, gospel-soaked harmonies, and a gritty, heartfelt male soul vocal, “Right On Time” celebrates a love that was never late—it arrived exactly when it was supposed to. This is for the ones who learned that real love doesn't always begin with fireworks. Sometimes it starts with friendship, grows through life, and becomes forever. 25 years of friendship. 10 years of love. And still right on time. ❤️

Michael Rhodes did seventeen years in the Louisiana prison system for dealing meth. Hard labor, hard time, the kind that's supposed to take. A year out and working a forklift, he spent two days sending explicit messages to someone who told him she was fifteen - then drove up to a sting house on the river in Livingston Parish in shorts and a tank top for the date. The decoy who let him in works at the parish jail by day. She had him talking about his own record before Chris ever came through the door. Rhodes says he was just talking. In this part of the country, that's a felony. There's a condom in his wallet, a machete in his car, and a fifteen-year-old daughter at home - the same age as the girl he showed up to see. Asked what should happen to him, he finally says something true. Last week he pleaded guilty. Seven years. This time he doesn't go back as a drug dealer. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this gripping twenty-second installment of our Jack Ruby miniseries, we look past the convenient post-assassination caricature of Jack Ruby as a pathetic, lonely "police buff" who brought free pizza to headquarters. Instead, we peel back the layers of the Dallas Police Department and FBI files to expose a highly calculating, double-shielded operator who survived on the very edge of the law for sixteen years. We reconstruct the shadowy 1953-1955 gambling hustle Jack ran alongside swindler Harry Hall (alias Harry Sinclair Jr.), beating local gamblers out of nearly $80,000 while boasting of his extensive "juice" with Dallas law enforcement—a transactional system of mutual protection that would shield him all the way until he pulled the trigger in the City Hall basement.We dig into the highly sensitive, explosive allegations that surfaced on the very day of Jack's arrest. We trace the FBI's frantic hunt for "Mike Ryan"—a ghostly bookkeeper and car salesman whose real name was Roy William Pike—following tips that Ruby served as the official payoff man for the Dallas Vice Squad, receiving advance warnings of upcoming police raids to leak to his underworld associates. We contrast these denials with the blunt, firsthand accounts of carousel employees and dancers like Beatrice Colgrove (known on stage as Najada). Colgrove recounted the chilling moment when Ruby slapped her in front of a Dallas vice lieutenant, only for the officer to laugh in her face and tell her she was crazy.Furthermore, we reconstruct the legendary after-hours social gatherings that the Dallas Police Department desperately tried to erase behind a blue wall of silence. We examine the testimony of carousel photographer and bartender James H. "Jimmy" Rhodes, who detailed an after-hours party where exactly fourteen members of the Dallas Vice Squad drank Coca-Colas on Jack's tab. We dismantle the "shift schedule" defense mounted by Police Chief Jesse Curry—who claimed such a gathering was physically impossible—by exposing how his estimate of the vice squad's total strength perfectly matched the bartender's count of fourteen men. Finally, we explore Ruby's parallel track as a potential criminal informant for FBI Special Agent Charles Flynn, showing how Jack attempted to use federal contacts to run a snitching campaign against his bitter rivals, Abe and Barney Weinstein, while projecting an aura of federal immunity to local cops.
Goodbye, Saturday Night's Main Event. Welcome, Sunday Night's Main Event. For the first time in its four-decade history, the iconic professional wrestling series moves to Sunday, emanating from Atlanta. Cody Rhodes, a superstar with multi-generational ties to the city, headlines the card. Rhodes takes on his WrestleMania rival Randy Orton in a rematch months in the making. Orton delivered a devastating punt to Rhodes to end their match and Rhodes has been keen on getting his lick back ever since. Orton recently made his return to WWE TV and nearly delivered a similar blow to the one he did in the WrestleMania leadup where Rhodes head was placed on the ring steps and Orton smacked it with a chair. This time, authorities intervened in time.Perhaps the biggest match on Sunday, though, sees a pair of rising stars square off as Bron Breakker faces Oba Femi. Breakker has been tunnel-vision focused on Femi since seeing his mentor, Paul Heyman, approve of Femi's action at SummerSlam where Femi bested Brock Lesnar. Breakker is worried he is losing his mentor to another superstar and wants to prove himself again on Sunday.

Are we a country based on ideals, on the American creed set out in our founding documents? Or are we a nation of blood and soil, as Vice President JD Vance has argued? Both these strains run throughout American history. Those of us on the side of equality and inclusion have much to learn from those who have come before. This week we're joined by Ben Rhodes to discuss his new book, All We Say, in which he compiles 15 speeches that articulate various sides of these debates over American identity. Rhodes is a former speechwriter for President Obama and the current co-host of Pod Save the World. Recorded on August 17, 2026. The Brennan Center is a nonpartisan law and policy institute that works to repair, revitalize, and defend our systems of democracy and justice so that they work for all Americans.

In 1883 Joseph Moss, regarded as the wealthiest black man in Kimberley, stood before the newly formed Africander League in the diamond mining city. Africander spelled A F R I C A N D E R. It which was not what you'd imagine, the Africander League was made up of black and coloured men before whom Moss pronounced “We are Africans — we are not like Englishmen, who return to their own land. You are not here for a certain period to make money alone and then return to England to make yourselves great men…” Moss looked around the room at the faces of black and brown “…You are born here, your interest is here…” Because South Africa was not their place of birth, most Englishmen in Kimberley did not view it as their homeland. Within a generation, however, their descendants born on South African soil would be confronted with a historic question of identity: were they British, or were they South African? As Moss spoke he would have been aware of a similar sentiment amongst Dutch speaking South Africans, a rising Afrikaner nationalism. There were only two main differences between the Africanders and the Afrikaners One was a matter of spelling - the black League was spelled Africander and the Dutch Bond was spelt Afrikaner. Secondly, the black Africanders of Kimberley spoke English, while the white spoke Dutch as well the new taal of South Africa, Afrikaans. It is one of the overriding historical facts of the last 150 years that so much resonated between these people and yet, so much was going to end up segregating them. Both of these Afrikaners regarded Africa as their homeland, yet were feited to spend their days separated because of the perceived differences based on skin colour. IT was a surface difference and by the late 1880s, that difference was being reinforced by English politicians and millionaires in South Africa like Cecil John Rhodes. As the diamond and gold mines developed and the ownership crystalised around a handful of men, vast changes were taking place across southern Africa, the future was swiveling about on the fulcrum of politics. Farming interests dominated local settler politics, and in the Cape more scientific farming practices advanced rapidly with the establishment of the Department of Agriculture. There was another struggle on the go in the colony - between a progressive largely English-speaking modernising elite, and poorer, more conservative sheep farmers. From the mid-1880s onwards, Cape legislation was introduced making it compulsory to dip sheep in order to curb infection. This gave rise to the most wide-spread popular agitation among Dutch speaking Afrikaners — agitation which threatened to split the party representing their interests, the Afrikaner Bond. It further reinforced the ethnic solidarity between Afrikaners on isolated sheep farms of the northern Cape in particular. And living next door to these farmers were the mine owners of Kimberley, led by Cecil John Rhodes. Throughout the late 1880s, Cecil John Rhodes had maintained links with his British-based network of mine owners and financiers by sending storms of telegrams and letters, and maintained an excellent engagement with Cape politicians. By the time of gold discoveries, he had built a much closer working relationship with Afrikaners too, much to the surprise of most considering that he was an imperialist who loved Latin and Greek, and Afrikaans was not Greek to him. In February 1887 Cecil formed Goldfields of South Africa with Charles Rudd who is another to loom large in South African history. At first Goldfields spluttered along, with most of it's slim profits being invested into De Beers, and his new venture, the British South Africa Company. Rhodes began to schmooze Transvaal politicians which was quite difficult seeing that he couldn't speak Afrikaans, or Dutch, or in fact, any South African language.
