 STEPHANUS JOHANNES PAULUS KRUGER - LoveToKnow Article on STEPHANUS JOHANNES PAULUS KRUGER   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
In 1880 the Boer rebellion occurred, and Kruger was one of the famous triumvirate, of which General Piet Joubert and Pretorius were the other members, who, after Majuba, negotiated the terms of peace on which the Pretoria convention of August 1881 was drafted.
In 1893 Kruger had to face a third presidential election, and on this occasion the opposition he had raised among the burgers, largely by the favoritism he displayed to the Hollander party, was so strong that it was fully anticipated that his more liberal opponent, General Joubert, would be elected.
The acticn taken by President Kruger at this election, and his previous actions in ousting President Burgers and in absolutely excluding the IJitlanders from the franchise, all show that at any cost, in his opinion, the government must remain a close corporation, and that while he lived he must remain at the head of it.
