Some Famous People called Thomas Meikle

Thomas Meikle

Thomas Meikle (4 December 1861 – 8 February 1939), born in Scotland, was a businessman and pioneer in Rhodesia, the African country now known as Zimbabwe.

He travelled to Durban in December 1869 with his parents, his brothers John and Stewart and his sister Jeannie. He worked initially as a transport rider, then as a gold prospector, finally settling as a trader in Mashonaland. In 1864 [before travelling to Durban?] [At three years old?] he set up stores in Bulawayo and Gwelo, modern day Gweru with his brother John, who pulled out of the venture two years later. He took over his brother Stewart's original idea to set up a chain of hotels, which culminated in the present day Meikles Hotel in Harare, Zimbabwe.

He died at Hillside, Bulawayo on 8 February 1939 after a long illness, and was survived by his widow and four daughters.
