The article currently says that Verwoerd went to a Lutheran primary school. This may be true, but the work cited (Goodman's Fault Lines) does not in fact give this information, so I've used a failed verification tag. It only says that they settled there, and spoke about what his father did. Not much later on the book says the received the top matriculation examination score in the Orange Free State, but says nothing of English literature marks in Rhodesia. I have inserted a citation needed for the last comment. Panrage 10:10, 7 September 2013 (UTC)
I see that Diefenbaker's opposition to South Africa's readmission to the Commonwealth is accompanied by a comment about violation of Canadian Aboriginal People's human rights. Was that still in progress at the time? -- Slashme 12:20, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

"Under Verwoerd opposition to apartheid was heavily repressed, with tens of thousands of people being detained and imprisoned, thousands exiled and assaulted, and hundreds tortured and killed."
Where did they get this "FACT"? "thousands exiled and assaulted, and hundreds tortured and killed".
I challenge them to provide the proof! No references given! If you write:
"Under Verwoerd opposition to apartheid was heavily repressed, with THE RESULT THAT tens of thousands of people WERE detained and imprisoned, thousands exiled and assaulted, and hundreds tortured and killed in the streets."
That would make more sense, but the word play is he killed thousands or ordered the killing of thousands. Which is a blatant lie!

This article focuses too much on Apartheid and it does not mention his administration. I remember reading somewhere that under him South Africa had the highest economic growth rate in history, and R1 (the currency) was worth more than $1. If I can find it I will update. ( User talk:Johnmars3)
Given that the first assasination attempt took place in april, and the creation of the republic in may, the first assasination attempt section should appear first DParkinson1 ( talk) 12:53, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
