John Charles Molteno, Jr. : ウィキペディア英語版 | John Charles Molteno, Jr.
John Charles Molteno, Jr. (4 March 1860 – 23 March 1924) M.L.A., was a South African exporter and Member of Parliament. He was a prominent anti-imperialist of the Cape Colony, and a denouncer of British policies which led to the Boer War, chairing the South Africa Conciliation Committee in Cape Town. He was also a supporter of expanded civil rights for Black Africans, and recognised, very early on, the need for them to play a leading role in South Africa's political future. ==Family and business== Molteno was the son of the Cape's first Prime Minister, Sir John Charles Molteno (senior).〔P. A. Molteno: ''The life and times of Sir John Charles Molteno, K. C. M. G., First Premier of Cape Colony, Comprising a History of Representative Institutions and Responsible Government at the Cape''. London: Smith, Elder & Co. 1900〕 From a very young age he served as a his father’s private secretary, helping to manage his family's diverse political and business interests, and did not join his brothers in studying in Cambridge. After his father’s death he took over much of the family’s businesses, and managed their enormous Karoo farming estates. He formed and ran an export syndicate with his brothers William and Percy, which undertook Southern Africa's first successful fruit export to Europe and dominated the industry for many years. However, later he handed his remaining operations over to his brother William, and retired from business. For the duration of his career, he served as the confidential agent of his brother, the shipping magnate Percy Molteno.〔De Beer, G: ''160 Years of Export''. Cape Town: PPECB, 2003.〕
