Subsequent to his service in the South African War Sir Cecil was in South Africa for 14 years, serving under no fewer than four High Commissioners. 4 ‘During that period ” he said, “I several times visited Southern Rhodesia, and through my connection with successive High Commissioners became acquainted with South African and Rhodesian problems. Both Lady Rodwell and mvself recognise that we have a difficult task before us in following Sir John and Lady Chancellor.
