Sir Thomas Ekins Fuller Esq., Knight Commander of the Order of Street Michael and Saint George was editor of the Cape Argus newspaper, and a prominent Member of the Legislative Assembly of the Cape Colony.
Career
He also supported the inclusive, locally-oriented politics of his liberal allies at the time. Although initially a liberal, in later life, he came to be greatly influenced by the imperialist Cecil Rhodes, of whom he eventually became a devoted admirer. Finally in 1898, he even became a director of the De Beers Consolidated Mines Company.
Membership
Between 1873 and 1875 he worked with immigration in London, before returning to the Cape to become General Manager of the Union Steamship Company (1875-1898) and Member of the Legislative Assembly of the Cape Colony (Modern Language Association for Cape Town, 1879-1900).
