	ZA@PLAY - BOOKS 14/04/98
		Like many DRC scholars, Verwoerd visited the Netherlands to pursue further studies, which was where his life started to change radically.
		His self-perception, illustrated by his extensive use of his diaries and letters to Melanie, shifts from a rather self-satisfied, confident and patronising "soldier of Christ" to what he describes as a "sapling in the wind", uncertain but open to new understandings of the political, the spiritual, and his relationship with others.
		What makes this autobiography significant, apart from who Verwoerd is, is the way in which it illustrates how people change, not usually in some dramatic "road to Damascus" experience but over time, often with residual uncertainties, and always with effort.

	IOL: Reconciliation comes to Ireland, SA-style
		Wilhelm Verwoerd, 39, the grandson of Hendrik Frensch Verwoerd, "HF".
		While Wilhelm's wife, Melanie Verwoerd, 36, South Africa's ambassador to Ireland, is hard at work promoting the interests of her country, he steers a programme to "help humanise interactions" between Northern Ireland's "ex-combatants" or paramilitaries.
		Although he says now his thesis was too defensive the defence continues: "although HF was committed to a set of ideals, he was also a clever politician and was prepared to adjust when things did not work out".

		Verwoerd’s decision to leave the Commonwealth was seen as an apartheid act, specifically in the face of Afro-Asian opposition in the Commonwealth.

	Victory or Violence: The Story of the AWB : Chapter 9
		That seed was the reliance on Black labour, leading to an economically integrated system over which the government tried to enforce social and constitutional separation.
		Former prime minister Dr HF Verwoerd's son, also named Hendrik, was the head of an organisation known as the Oranjewerkers (Orange Workers) who realised this truth and as a result aimed for an independent White state totally non-reliant on Black labour or buying power.
		This ideal of self sufficiency in a separate smaller White state has obvious similarities to the AWB's Volkstaat philosophy, with the result that Verwoerd (jnr) and Terre'Blanche often had consultations and meetings on strategy, although this contact diminished with time.

		Shortly before matriculating from Milnerton High School in Cape Town at the end of 1967, his plans to study medicine at the University of Cape Town were dashed by his father’s transfer to Pretoria, and the news that his parents could not afford the cost of long-distance tuition.
