The Cape to Cairo Railway was an uncompleted project to cross the
entire continent Africa from south to north by railroad. This plan was
begun at the end of the 19th century, during the time of colonial rule,
largely under the vision of Cecil Rhodes. Rhodes’ dream was to create a
continuous line of British territories from Cape Town, South Africa to
Cairo, Egypt.
The famous cartoon demonstrates Rhodes dream.
As you can see, he stands on the continent of Africa
with one foot on the southern tip of Africa and the
other at the northern coast. In his hand, he holds a
telegraph wire, which he wanted to build along with
the railroad.
