This post started as I wondered whether a certain late UCT Professor ever met his cardiology colleague, Dr Death. An allegory about the institutions that created the two men.

La statue de l’impérialiste ultime a peut-être dégagé de l’université du Cap, mais il y en a une autre qui trône toujours tranquillement au cœur de la ville dans son écrin de verdure. Faisant un geste que d’autres suprémacistes blancs ne renieront pas quelques décennies plus tard. #rhodesmustfall

UCT’s Moshabela says Rhodes Must Fall movement was a painful period for many who were involved! The 2015 #RhodesMustFall student movement has been described as a painful period for the University of Cape Town’s history and students involved. On 9 March 2015, student activist Chumani Maxwele threw human faeces on the Cecil John Rhodes statue on UCT’s upper campus, in protest against the lack of transformation post-apartheid.

Sounds fascinating. Apartheid may have officially ended in 1994, but the RhodesMustFall movement and the toppling of that statue in 2015 was a pivotal moment in South African history.

26 March 1902. Cecil Rhodes died (aged 48). In 2020, after the death of George Floyd, conversations around colonisers like Rhodes came to a head with the decapitation of his statue in South Africa and the #RhodesMustFall campaign in Oxford.
