Johannes Strijdom which I redirected here recently. I don't have any way to authenticate the information, so I don't know if it will be useful to editors of this page, but wanted potential editors to know about the information as a starting place. ~ BigrTex22:05, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply
Any article which says a mainstream South African politician believed in the "master-'slave' relations", "withdraw the voting rights to the 'mongrels' of the Cape", and had "'arteries' and monuments" named after him cannot be reliable.JohnC (talk) 04:21, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I note the contradictory suggestion that Strijdom was not pleased with the portfolio of agriculture, yet was interested in agriculture. Any evidence for this? I doubt Malan made him agriculture miniter because his "young wife" disliked Strijdom. No PM gives a minister a portfolio he doesn't want just to annoy him. Even if Malan's wife disliked Strijdom (and there is no evidence of this) that would not be a reason for Malan wanting Havenga to succeed him as Prime Minister. This whole topic sounds very unsound and improbable.JohnC (talk) 04:18, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Where on earth did you find this rubbish? They keywords are correct... but "mongrels" take the cake. Again, keywords are in the right direction, but the smell that eminates from that translation sounds neo-Nazi. Evil stuff. Nothing from this text is not covered during the timespan of the subject, meaning, we've got the basic info we need. I'll get the rest from books, word-of-mouth (from people that were there) and online articles. I still can't imagine even the most fervent right-wing supporter of right-wing Afrikanerdom actually uttering words such as this. You need to slap whomever dreamt up that garble, they were smoking something.
1930 - 1943
Flipping through the few books relating to this subject I happen to have on my meagre shelves, I'm finding the period of 1930 to 1943 insanely interesting in South African politics. I should say, in politics pertaining to those who had the vote at the time, of course.
Afrikaner Nationalism reached a peak around 1942, and with World War II raging, all references seems to indicate that the Afrikanerdom, having isolated itself for two or three years by that time, hoped that Germany would keep the upperhand in Europe.
By 1943, common sense and the Afrikanerdom came back to earth, and saw that Germany was a lost cause. Yet, after this particular ideal existing in the party (National Party, NP), the NP goes ahead and tries to keep winning their elections. What do they do? They promise things to the previously alienated English-speaking electorate (due to the fact that the Afrikanerdom was too busy isolating itself from reality), and got this same electorate to have a hand in electing the NP into power in 1948.
The National Party happens to get a meagre victory, and thus, the NP (run at the moment by pro-Segregationist partisans) get into power. Same party, creates the official version of Apartheid, and we all live under it for a while.
I like to think having had it as a legal system, allowed it to be targeted more fervently by activism overseas (saying, that if it hadn't been institutionalised, it may have taken longer to bring it down), yet, at the same time I'd say we may never have really experienced the effects of Apartheid. Ho hum. Only G-d can know now.
