In 1868, a 21-carat diamond found on the banks of the Orange River near Hopetown triggered a frenzied rush that reshaped Southern Africa. This episode follows the discovery of the Star of South Africa, the ensuing diamond rush to Kimberley, and the violent contest for control between Griqua, Boer, British, and African claimants. We explore how the rush led to the annexation of Griqualand West, the rise of Cecil Rhodes and Barney Barnato, the creation of De Beers, and the long shadow cast by diamond wealth on colonial expansion and racial labor control. Join Lucas and Luna as they dig into a turning point that funded the machinery of empire and planted seeds of future conflict. #DiamondRush #Kimberley #StarOfSouthAfrica #GriqualandWest #CecilRhodes #BarneyBarnato #DeBeers #OrangeRiver #Hopetown #Griqua #NicholasWaterboer #SouthernAfrica #ColonialHistory #19thCentury #MineralRevolution #BritishEmpire #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
