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

A black white and red poster from the Rhodes Must Fall Feminist Collective advertising an event on Wed 9 April: a 10 year community reflection on RMF's contested legacies centring narrative justice The poster features cartoon red flames in the background with an image of the Cecil John Rhodes statue being craned away. A crowd gathers in front of the statue with a person carrying a placard that reads "Dear history, this revolution has women, gays, queers and trans. Remember that" The poster provides details on the event: Cape Town: Cafe Ganesh, 38 Trill Road, Observatory Joburg: Breeze block Cafe, 29 Chiswick Street, Brixton Starting at 18:00
Wed 9 April is the 10 year anniversary of the removal of the Cecil John Rhodes statue from UCT's campus.
Where did the time go? But also. What is the legacy of #RhodesMustFall? Whose narrative is seen as the more legitimate voice of RMF? It's contested.

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.
Why “erase” history?

It’s not often that I’m proud of my Alma mater, considering Oriel college’s love for Rhodesian apartheid or the soulless All Soul’s multiple investments in Israeli settlements, but this is a start, at least

SouthmillArts in the town where I now live (the music venue formerly known as the O’Rhodes) hosted such illuminati as Sir J Saville and G (my gang my gang) Glitter. We want no reminders of his depravity with scholarships to the noble place of learning that if WulfUni.

Piece just out, thx to Mail & Guardian & @JCharlesLeonard. Explores anti-Rhodes activism and its symbolism then and now. Extract from broader essay on ‘Olive Schreiner, Race and Black South Africa’ in @SAModernism’s new exciting book (Edinburgh Uni UP). mg.co.za/friday/2023-... #RhodesMustFall

The law requires trustees to act in 'best interests' of the charity. But law also defines maximisation of funds in charity as likely the same as its 'best interests'. That is something that Parliament should correct, as the issue is likely to persist. #RhodesMustFall

Just to be clear, @UniofOxford VC does not in any way speak for me today. I find what she has said blinkered, ill-informed, & profoundly disappointing on many levels & will be writing to her today

Donors link their name or image to perpetual organisations in pursuit of a *personal* perpetuity. But they drive weak bargains, giving proportionately little in return for the enormous privilege of 'forever'. And so there is no reason why past deals should hold. #RhodesMustFall

Everyone following #RhodesMustFall should read Nakul Krishna's terrific @nplusonemag 2016 essay on it:
"Oxford — and the mainstream British political culture it feeds — is formidably well armored with defense mechanisms and comforting fables.
