Question: What British Colony did James Sivewright and Cecil Rhodes helped run?
Context: A Mandela Rhodes Scholarship provides full funding for up to a maximum of two years of postgraduate study for an African citizen under 30 years of age.  The award is open to all African citizens under the age of 30 years and recipients must study towards Honours or master's degrees at recognised South African institutions.  Although no maximum number of awards has been stipulated, the scholarships are highly competitive, with fewer than 30 scholarships being awarded each year since its inception in 2005.  The scholarships cover tuition, accommodation, meals, book allowance, general allowance, and travel expenses.  Recipients of the Mandela Rhodes Scholarship are students with outstanding academic achievements who also possess leadership ability, entrepreneurial skills, and a commitment to reconciliation.  In addition to receiving funding for their studies, scholars also undertake a leadership development program while in residence.  The award is named after Nelson Mandela and Cecil Rhodes and is administered by the Mandela Rhodes Foundation which is a partnership between Nelson Mandela and the Rhodes Trust. Rhodes University is a public research university located in Grahamstown in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa.  It is one of four universities in the province.  Established in 1904, Rhodes University is the province's oldest university, and it is the fifth or sixth oldest South African university in continuous operation, being preceded by the University of the Free State (1904), University of Witwatersrand (1896), Stellenbosch University (1866) and the University of Cape Town (1829).  Rhodes was founded in 1904 as Rhodes University College, named after Cecil Rhodes, through a grant from the Rhodes Trust.  It became a constituent college of the University of South Africa in 1918 before becoming an independent university in 1951. The British South Africa Company (BSAC or BSACo) was established following the amalgamation of Cecil Rhodes' Central Search Association and the London-based Exploring Company Ltd which had originally competed to exploit the expected mineral wealth of Mashonaland but united because of common economic interests and to secure British government backing.  The company received a Royal Charter in 1889 modelled on that of the British East India Company.  Its first directors included the Duke of Abercorn, Rhodes himself and the South African financier Alfred Beit.  Rhodes hoped BSAC would promote colonisation and economic exploitation across much of south-central Africa, as part of the "Scramble for Africa".  However, his main focus was south of the Zambezi, in Mashonaland and the coastal areas to its east, from which he believed the Portuguese could be removed by payment or force, and in the Transvaal, which he hoped would return to British control. Rhodes is an eight part British television drama series about the life of Cecil Rhodes, a 19th century British adventurer, empire-builder and politician.  It starred Martin Shaw as the controversial figure, and was written by Antony Thomas.  "Rhodes" received its British television debut on 15 September 1996, and concluded on 3 November.  It was produced by Scott Meek and Charles Salmon, and directed by David Drury. Kühne Beveridge (born 1874, Springfield, Illinois) was an American sculptor.  She studied under William R. O'Donovan in New York City, and under Rodin in Paris.  Among her works are a statue called "Rhodesia," "Rough Rider Monument," a statue called "Lascire," which belongs to Dr. Jameson, busts of Cecil Rhodes, King Edward VII, Grover Cleveland, Adlai Stevenson, Joseph Jefferson, Buffalo Bill, Bryan Mahon, Tom L. Johnson, and many others.  Beveridge was first noticed as an artist in the US in 1892, when her busts of former President Cleveland and Mr. Jefferson called favorable attention to her.  She received honorable mention in Paris twice.  In 1899, she married Charles Coghlan, and soon discovered that he had a living wife at the time of her marriage and obtained a divorce.  Before she went to South Africa Beveridge had executed several commissions for Cecil Rhodes and others living in that country.  Her mother became the Countess von Wrede.  Beveridge married a second time, an American, Mr. Branson, who resided at Johannesburg, in the Transvaal. The Rudd Concession, a written concession for exclusive mining rights in Matabeleland, Mashonaland and other adjoining territories in what is today Zimbabwe, was granted by King Lobengula of Matabeleland to Charles Rudd, James Rochfort Maguire and Francis Thompson, three agents acting on behalf of the South African-based politician and businessman Cecil Rhodes, on 30 October 1888.  Despite Lobengula's retrospective attempts to disavow it, it proved the foundation for the royal charter granted by the United Kingdom to Rhodes's British South Africa Company in October 1889, and thereafter for the Pioneer Column's occupation of Mashonaland in 1890, which marked the beginning of white settlement, administration and development in the country that eventually became Rhodesia, named after Rhodes, in 1895. Cecil John Rhodes PC (5 July 1853 – 26 March 1902) was a British businessman, mining magnate and politician in South Africa, who served as Prime Minister of the Cape Colony from 1890 to 1896.  An ardent believer in British imperialism, Rhodes and his British South Africa Company founded the southern African territory of Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe and Zambia), which the company named after him in 1895.  South Africa's Rhodes University is also named after him.  Rhodes set up the provisions of the Rhodes Scholarship, which is funded by his estate, and put much effort towards his vision of a Cape to Cairo Railway through British territory. Sir James Sivewright K.C.M.G. (1848–1916) was a businessman and politician of the Cape Colony, South Africa.  He was a strong political ally of Cecil Rhodes and, as his cabinet minister, was implicated in the "Logan" corruption scandal that led to the fall of the first Rhodes government. Mapondera and a force of 600 men revolted against the Colony of Southern Rhodesia near Mazowe in 1900.  An indecisive battle took place near Mount Darwin between Mapondera and the Colony of Southern Rhodesia in 1901.  Mashonaland and Matabeleland were united as Southern Rhodesia, administered by the British South Africa Company, on 24 January.  In 1902 the government passed a law requiring all natives over the age of 14 to register and carry "situpas" (passes).  Cecil Rhodes died at the age of 48 on 26 March.  The Colony of Southern Rhodesia captured Mapondera, tried him, and sentenced him to seven years imprisonment for treason in 1903.  He died in 1904 after a hunger strike. Edmund Cecil Rhodes (1892–1964), a statistician, was born in Yorkshire and named after Cecil Rhodes.  He went to Bradford Grammar School and Trinity College, Cambridge where he graduated as Wrangler (B-star) in 1914.  In 1924 he became Reader at the London School of Economics where he remained until he retired in 1958.  He wrote for Biometrika and the Journal of the Royal Statistical Society, and Edgeworth called him a "pathbreaker" (see obituary by Grebenik).
