Piet Joubert | South African History Online
Acted as President of the Transvaal when the territory was annexed in 1877, joined Kruger and Pretorius to take up arms against the British. He led the commando that defeated the British at Laing's Nek, Ingogo and Majuba Hill. Joubert became commandant-general of the Transvaal and managed to crush the Jameson Raid in January 1896. He died soon after besieging Ladysmith, which proved to be disasterous, as opposed to what his younger generals had urged him to do.

Hendrik Verwoerd
Hendrik Frensch Verwoerd (Amsterdam, 8 September 1901 – Kaapstad, 6 September 1966) was voormalige eerste minister van Suid-Afrika wat in 'n sluipmoord in die parlement in Kaapstad gesterf het. Verwoerd word algemeen as 'n sleutelfiguur in die Apartheidstelsel beskou. Mense sal waarskynlik nog lank verskil oor die waarde van sy werk. In die geskiedenis van die Afrikaners en van Suid-Afrika bly die grondlegger van die 1961-Republiek egter ‘n sleutelfiguur.
