Later factions

If we can pass family-friendliness, I'd love to do a bit of development on (if I remember the Afrikaans spelling) verligte and verkrampte factions.

For background, my South African experience was in a graduate seminar on strategic research and analysis, back in 1967, when I did my country study on it. At one point, I was very familiar with the military balance; the intelligence community was significantly surprise by a peaceful transition. Howard C. Berkowitz 21:59, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

I say go for it. It's nice to finally find someone else who even knows that the NP had factions (or that there was an NP, for that matter). Shamira Gelbman 22:23, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
OK. Some of this will be from memory and I'll have to see what references I can find. As I remember, there some interesting coalition attempts with the United Party on the one side, and the Broederbund on the other. Howard C. Berkowitz 22:32, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
