Het Volk
Het Volk, 'The People', was an Afrikaner political party founded in the Transvaal in 1905 by Louis Botha and Jan Smuts to work for self-government and reconciliation with English-speaking whites after the Second Boer War. It won the first elections of the self-governing Transvaal Colony in 1907, making Botha prime minister, and merged into the South African Party after union in 1910.
