		In 1929 Strijdom was elected to Parliament as the member for the Waterberg.
		He served as a Minister of Land and Irrigation in D F Malan's 1948 government, and on the latter's retirement in 1954, and despite his own poor health, he was elected leader of the NP and thus became Premier.
		Strijdom abandoned any scruples that may have remained within the governing party and simply enlarged, and changed the composition of, both the Senate (by the Senate Act of 1956) and the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court.

	School once named after racist prime minister gives a lesson to South Africa with its fresh title - [Sunday Herald]
		If JG Strijdom, South Africa’s hardline white racist prime minister from 1954 to 1958, came back from the dead now and saw Nkosana Mlambo saunter into Höerskool JG Strijdom [JG Strijdom High School] he might choke on the memory of when he ordered the trial for treason of a certain 39-year-old fl hothead, Nelson Mandela.
		Not only does 16-year-old Mlambo, from Soweto, have no idea who Strijdom was – “He was, like, some guy, uhm, who was, uhm, important” – but it was certainly not part of Strijdom’s vision to have a non-racial school, and especially not one named after him.
		Never in Strijdom’s worst nightmare would he have imagined that 825 out of Höerskool JG Strijdom’s 970 pupils would one day be fl.

		This is the hawker community, the pavement musicians and hustlers, for whom the Strijdom head serves an oblique satirical purpose.
		But best of all were two characters: a street photographer who daily sets up his life-size cut-out of Mr Mandela in front of the Strijdom head, the other a bitterbek wrinkly who spends her pension feeding the numerous stray cats that inhabit the square.
