Jameson Raid

Beit, associate of Rhodes and privy to Jameson's plans, financed the revolutionists to the order of £400,000[2][3] and was subsequently censured in the House of Commons and British press.[4]Wernher, Beit's business partner, was not drawn into the investigation, and his role, at least in the raid's initial stages, remains unproven.[3]

The Jameson Raid (29 December 1895 – 2 January 1896) was a botched raid on Paul Kruger's Transvaal Republic carried out by British colonial statesman Leander Starr Jameson and his Company troops ("police" in the employ of Beit and Rhodes' British South Africa Company) and Bechuanaland policemen over the New Year weekend of 1895–96. It was intended to trigger an uprising by the primarily British expatriate workers (known as Uitlanders) in the Transvaal but failed to do so. The workers were called the Johannesburg conspirators. They were expected to recruit an army and prepare for an insurrection. The raid was ineffective and no uprising took place, but it was an inciting factor in the Second Boer War and the Second Matabele War.
