  Herstigte Nasionale Party   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
The Herstigte Nasionale Party van Suid-Afrika (Refounded National Party of South Africa) was formed as a right wing splinter group of the South African National Party.
The party was formed in the 1968 by Albert Hertzog (son of former Prime Minister General JBM Hertzog as response to a perceived easing of apartheid by the National Party government, as well as the dropping of Hertzog and some of his closest supporters from the cabinet.
The name was chosen to reflect the initials of the earlier 'Herenigde' (re-united) National Party, a name used by Daniel François Malan to defeat Jan Smuts in the election of 1948, and therefore seen as recalling the roots that the National Party had abandoned.

Party spokesperson Louis van der Schyff said he and party leader Willie Marais were still planning to take over the country.
He argued that the HNP had not disappeared from the political scene and that it would launch its "don't vote" campaign with a meeting in Pretoria on February 28.
The HNP however believed that their strategy, despite taking longer to organise, would ultimately be more successful even if it was not totally conventional.

HNP stalwart Jaap Marais was in full swing when he addressed delegates after they re-elected him as leader for the 23rd time.
The traditional foes of the HNP were all disappearing, the 77-year-old Marais said.
Once the HNP had dealt with them, the final battle would be between communism and Afrikaner nationalism, Marais said.

 18 May 1938 – The United Party wins the General Election
The United Party came into being when the South African Party (SAP) and the National Party (NP) formed a coalition agreement and united in 1934 to form the Pact government with General Hertzog of the NP as Premier and General Smuts of the SAP as Vice-Premier.
In 1951 the HNP merged with the Afrikaner Party, and the party was then renamed simply the National Party (NP).
This HNP should not be confused with the modern day HNP, which stands for the Herstigte Nasionale Party van Suid-Afrika or Refounded National Party of South Africa.

 Between Acknowledgement and Ignorance: How white South Africans have dealt with the apartheid past - Chapter 3 - Gunnar ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
The situation is complicated by the fact that voting for the United Party (UP), the former ruling party and biggest opposition party during the 1950s and 1960s, was not necessarily a sign of disagreement with apartheid policies.
There was no broad rejection of the party responsible for the implementation and the so-called reform of apartheid, which took the form of an ostensible expansion of democracy through a highly undemocratic tri-cameral system for whites, coloureds and indians, while outright political discrimination against fl South Africans continued.
This reflects roughly the percentage of support for political parties to the left of the NP during the 1980s, and as can be expected, support for various apartheid measures varied significantly in terms of the party orientation of the respondents.

The HNP was founded in October 1969 when dr Albert Hertzog, a former cabinet Minister and three other MP's were kicked out of the National Party.
Ostensibly registered at first to serve as an election vehicle for a possible coalition party consisting of members of the now defunct Freedom Alliance, the party was eventually used as an election vehicle for general Constand Viljoen and his direct supporters.
