In order for Cecil Rhodes to gain control of Lo Bengula's riches, he had to trick him into signing a contract. The contract that Lo Bengula was signing was thought to say that Rhodes could dig for gold in exchange for a gift. Instead the contract said that Rhodes had full power to do things that "they may deem necessary" to produce a profit for England without payment to Lo Bengula.
