PAUL KRUGER POND. Description: Paul
Kruger In 1880, Paul Kruger joined forces with Piet
Joubert and M. Pretorius and the three pledged to fight for independence.
The Boers won the war and in 1883, Paul Kruger became the State President.
The gold rush to the Transvaal started soon after and the state was forced
to provide services such as railways, streets and proper accommodation to
the burgeoning cities and towns. He was re-elected in 1888, but was not
very popular - he tended to award commercial concessions only to the
people that he personally liked and this caused the people to grumble. With the election of 1893, Paul Kruger won by
a narrow margin and many people believed that if he continued with his
economic policies, he would lead Transvaal to ruin. He was a wily
politician and managed to win over the people and in 1898, was re-elected
for a fourth time with a large majority. The Anglo-Boer War broke out and Paul Kruger
guided the Boer forces and became an icon of inspiration to the battling
Boers. In 1900, as the British forces advanced on Pretoria, Paul Kruger
escaped and left his country, to settle down in Holland for the duration
of the Anglo-Boer War. He never returned to his country, but died in
Clarens, Switzerland on 14 July 1904. His body was shipped back to Cape Town and was
taken to the Transvaal via train. His body was buried on 16 December 1904
in Pretoria, in Heroes Acre. The striking of ponde
in 1900 was interupted by the advancing British Troops. On the 5th June
1900 all minted silver as well as minted and unminted gold including
blanks were removed from the Mint in Middleburg. |
