		The end result was that the older Pretorius gradually gained the support of the majority of the Transvaalers and became their chief spokesman.
		Joyous hymns and psalms were sung to mark the solemn reconciliation, and in the excitement hardly anyone noticed that Pretorius and Potgieter had prepared more trouble for the future by declaring that the two joint posts of Commandant-General which they had assumed would descend to their heirs.
		Marthinus Wessel Pretorius, however, lived on into the new century and we may note in passing that he received the unique honour of becoming President of both the Transvaal and the Orange Free State.

		The Constitution of the country provides that in determining compensation, among other things, the extent of direct state investment and subsidy in the acquisition and the beneficial improvement must be taken into account.
		The resolution of this matter is a vindication of government's willingness to accept independent professional opinion and its attempt to reach a non-confrontational and amicable solution.
		The protracted nature of the 'Boomplaats' farm negotiations - and until this week the intransigence of Mr Pretorius - illustrates in a graphic manner the challenge we all face as we try to advance by walking on the two legs of social transformation and national reconciliation.

	ANC Today - Volume 1 No 19, 1 June 2001
		Readers of ANC Today may remember the case of the land claim involving the farm 'Boomplaats', owned by a Mr Willem Marthinus Pretorius.
		Taking into account various factors, including special low interest rates extended exclusively to white farmers during the apartheid period, from which Mr Pretorius had benefited, the government offered to pay compensation amounting to R1,257,764, and was willing to go up to R1,285,764.
		This was to show the government's "goodwill and its preference for having these matters settled by negotiation", according to the Mgoqi statement.

		The esteem in which his shrewdness in both farming and legal affairs was held led to his election to the Volksraad as member for Wakkerstroom early in the sixties, Marthinus Pretorius being then in his second term of office as president.
		In 1870 Joubert was again elected, and the use to which he put his slender stock of legal knowledge secured him the appointment of attorney-general of the republic, while in 1875 he acted as president during the absence of T. Burgers in Europe.

	Land Claims Court to hear Boomplaats restitution case (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Following the withdrawal notice on expropriation by the Minister of Agriculture and Land Affairs, involving the farm Boomplaats of Mr Willem Marthinus Pretorius, further negotiations took place today with Mr Pretorius, his lawyer and a representative of the Transvaal Agricultural Union (TAU).
		It will be remembered that the notice of expropriation was withdrawn, so as to enable the parties to engage in further negotiations, which could possibly lead to a settlement.
		Sadly, Mr Pretorius and his representatives bluntly refused the offer and raised the point that they were not interested in the quantum, but in the principle that only market value must be paid without deducting benefits such as soft loans - clearly a matter of principle.
