Excerpt: Hendrik Frensch Verwoerd (8 September 1901 ¿ 6 September 1966) was Prime Minister of South Africa from 1958 until his assassination in 1966. Verwoerd was born in the Netherlands and emigrated at age two with his parents to South Africa. He served as Prime Minister of South Africa from 1958 until an assassin stabbed him to death in 1966. He was Prime Minister during the establishment of the Republic of South Africa in 1960, thereby fulfilling the Afrikaner dream of an independent republic for South Africans.

Hendrik Verwoerd had an elder brother named Leendert and a younger sister named Lucie. In 1913, the family moved to Bulawayo, Southern Rhodesia, the elder Verwoerd became an assistant evangelist in the Dutch Reformed Church. Hendrik Verwoerd attended Milton High School where he did so well that he was awarded the Beit Scholarship, but was forced to decline because of his family¿s move back to South Africa, Brandfort in the Orange Free State. Due to the worldwide spanish flu epidemic, Hendrik Verwoerd only sat for his matriculation exams in February 1919, proving himself to be an able student at the Lutheran School in Wynberg and the Wynberg High School for Boys, achieving first position in the Orange Free State and fi
