Looting implies a violation of someone else’s property rights.
That wasn’t what Rhodes did - he used the lack thereof and the newly imposed colonialist systems to his advantage.
I’m not saying what he did was ethically right but that looting is not the right way to describe it either.
Exploiting seems more appropriate.
