Title: Herbert Rhodes grave
Description: Herbert Rhodes’ grave near Kavalo Village. Herbert Rhodes (1845-1879) managed a cotton plantation in Natal, c1870, at first alone, then with his brother Cecil. Shortly afterwards, the discovery of diamonds at Kimberley led the brothers to abandon their interest in cotton and take up prospecting instead. However, Herbert had already developed an active interest in pioneering, and in 1871 he gave over his part in the claim to Cecil. He was eventually killed in a shooting accident whilst pioneering in the Lake Nyasa area. Herbert was an elder brother of Cecil Rhodes. He died on a hunting trip in 1879.
