a legislative council for southern rhodesia was created in 1898 to advise the bsac administrator and the high commissioner for south africa on legal matters. initially, this had a minority of elected seats, and the electorate was formed almost exclusively of those better-off white settlers who held bsac shares. over time as more settlers arrived, disputes between settlers and bsac grew, and the company attempted to keep these in check by extending the franchise to some non-shareholders. however, in 1914, the royal charter was renewed on condition that settlers in southern rhodesia were given increased political rights, and from 1914, there was an elected majority on the southern rhodesian legislative council.
