Jan Hendrik Hofmeyr
Edit Profile
also known as
Onze Jan, "our Jan", "the Mole"
Education
He was educated at the South African College, and at an early age turned his attention to politics, first as a journalist.
Career
Yet he only held office for six months-as minister without portfolio in the Scanlen ministry from May to November 1881.
He held no subsequent official post in the colony, though he shared with Sir Thomas Upington and Sir Charles Mills the honour of representing the Cape at the intercolonial conference of 1887.
Under his direction the constitution of the Bond was modified.
Maffairs taken by the younger leaders of the Boers in the Transvaal.
During 1906 he gave offence to the extreme section of the Bond by some criticisms of the taal and his use of English in public speeches.
In the renewed movement for the closer union of the South African colonies he advocated federation as opposed to unification.
When, however, the unification proposals were ratified by the Cape parliament, Hofmeyr procured his nomination as one of the Cape delegates to England in the summer of 1909 to submit the draft act of union to the imperial government.
He died in London on 16 October 1909. His body was taken to Cape Town for burial.
Achievements
-
In 1878 he had himself founded the "Farmers' Association, " and as the Cape farmers were almost entirely Dutch the Association became a centre of Dutch influence.
His chief importance as a public man was, however, derived from his power over the Dutch in Cape Colony, and his control of the Afrikaner Bond.
