On the topic of power, plunder and where leaders learn, Cecil John Rhodes left school at 16, studied at Oriel College and set up scholarships for students of German descent to attend Oxford. Robert Mugabe has a BA (Fort Hare), Diploma in Education, a B.Ed, a B.Sc (London University) and the woman who gave up white privilege, Ruth First, was married to Stalinist Joe Slovo. PS, in Rhodes' will, partially published in a Yorkshire newspaper on April 5, 1902, Cecil Rhodes stated that no student shall be qualified or disqualified for election to a scholarship on account of race or religious opinions.
