Robert Edward Codrington
Sir Robert Edward Codrington (6 January 1869 – 16 December 1908) was the colonial Administrator of the two territories ruled by the British South Africa Company (BSAC) which became present-day Zambia. He was Administrator of North-Eastern Rhodesia, based at Fort Jameson, now Chipata, from 11 July 1898 to 24 April 1907, and then of North-Western Rhodesia, based at Livingstone from February 1908 to his death in London on 16 December 1908 from heart disease at the age of only 39. He laid the foundation for the amalgamation of the two territories as Northern Rhodesia four years later.〔(World Statesmen website: Zambia ) accessed 25 March 2007.〕
His administration was influential in establishing British colonial government in Northern Rhodesia and Nyasaland and making them different in character from white-settler-led Southern Rhodesia.〔(The ''Northern Rhodesia Journal'' online: "Robert Edward Codrington 1869-1908" ), Vol 3 No 6 (1956).〕
==Background==
Robert Codrington was born in the United Kingdom into a Gloucestershire family with a background of service in the Royal Navy, but instead he went to southern Africa and joined the Bechuanaland Border Police in 1890.〔 In 1893 this force took part in the occupation of Matabeleland by white settlers, the overthrow of its ruler, Lobengula, and the taking of African land by force, which still has violent consequences in today's Zimbabwe.〔Neil Parsons: "A New History of Southern Africa, Second Edition." Macmillan, London (1993), pp 179-181. The book quotes the British Colonial Office as reporting: "The interest of the Company is to drive out Lobengula and possess his lands".〕
