Kimberley

In 1871, Diederik and his brother Nicolaas de Beer discovered diamonds in a hill on their farm. Within months, they were joined by 50,000 others to replace the hill with what was to become the biggest man-made hole in the world. Kimberley remains the world's diamond capital built upon the riches which were to underpin the wealth of the country along with the gold of Johannesburg. Many fortunes were made - among them that of Cecil Rhodes.
