- Résumé : "Through South Africa" by Henry M. Stanley offers a detailed account of his journey through South Africa, focusing on the burgeoning development of Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) in the late 19th century. Stanley's narrative is primarily composed of letters he wrote for the journal "South Africa," capturing his observations and insights during his travels to Bulawayo, Johannesburg, and Pretoria. The text highlights the rapid progress of Rhodesia, particularly with the construction of the railway connecting it to Cape Town, which Stanley regards as a monumental achievement with significant implications for the region's future. He emphasizes the potential of Rhodesia not only as a mining hub but also as an agricultural powerhouse, capable of sustaining a thriving population due to its favorable climate and natural resources. Stanley's reflections extend beyond the immediate economic prospects, considering the broader geopolitical shift in Rhodesia's development on neighboring territories and colonial powers. He suggests that the establishment of a railway network could transform the region, fostering economic growth and political stability. Stanley's account is both a celebration of colonial enterprise and a contemplation of the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for South Africa and its people. His narrative is imbued with a sense of optimism about the potential for peaceful coexistence and mutual prosperity between the British and the Boers, as well as the diverse communities inhabiting the region.
