nauwere-vereeniging

Updated: August 16, 2026

Let me be candid with you, and say frankly that, in my opinion, this is virtually the Transvaal's war. This, however, makes no difference to me. For me the barrier of the Vaal River has never existed. I have always endeavoured to maintain the Nauwere-Vereeniging, and I feel strongly the obligation which the union of the two States casts on each one of us.
