	Thomas Francois Burgers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Thomas Francois Burgers, president of the old Transvaal Republic 1871–1877, was the youngest child of Barend and Elizabeth Burger of the farm Langefontein in the Camdeboo district of Graaff Reinet, South Africa.
		In South Africa Rev. Burgers became involved in a stormy controversy with the Dutch Reformed Synod over his alleged liberalism and disbelief in the literal truth of the Bible.
		The burghers of the old Transvaal Republic urged Rev Burgers to stand for the presidency, and he was elected by the considerable majority of 2,964 to 388.

		BURGERS, THOMAS FRANCOIS (1834-1881), president of the Transvaal Republic, was born in Cape Colony on the 15th of April 1834, and was educated at Utrecht, Holland, where he took the degree of doctor of theology.
		In 1875 Burgers, leaving the Transvaal in charge of Acting-President Joubert, went to Europe mainly to promote a scheme for linking the Transvaal to the coast by a railway from Delagoa Bay, which was that year definitely assigned to Portugal by the MacMahon award.
		Burgers in an address to the raad (3rd of March 1877) declared " I would rather be a policeman under a strong government than the president of such a state.

	Transvaal - LoveToKnow 1911
		Having failed with Brand, the Boers invited the Rev. Thomas Francois Burgers, a member of a well-known Cape Colony family and a minister of the Dutch Reformed Church, to allow himself to be nominated.
		Burgers then proceeded to levy taxes, which were never paid; to enrol troops, which never marched; and to continue the head of a government which had neither resources, credit nor power of administration.
		Burgers himself left the Transvaal a disappointed, heart-broken man, and a deathbed statement published some time after his decease throws a lurid light on the intrigues which arose before and after annexation.

	1874 Burgers pond
		After visiting the goldfields in late 1873 Burgers decided to produce his own indigenous gold coins - and on the 9th February 1874 wrote to J J Pratt, the Republic's Consul General in London sending him a portrait of himself and a sketch of the ZAR's coat of arms.
		The general recognition of these coins as circulating currency is a bit of a mis-nomer as they were generally kept as keep-sakes, often mounted as jewellery and not circulated by those burgers lucky enough to get or be able to afford one.
		The first widely circulating currency in S Africa is the trade tokens of Strachan and Co which were first issued to the people of Nomansland (later East Griqualand) in the same year as the Burgerspond were minted (1874).
