	Volksraad
		The Volksraad (English: "Peoples Council") was the parliament of the former South African Republic (ZAR) (also sometimes referred to as the Transvaal Republic), which existed from 1857 to 1902 in part of what is now the Republic of South Africa.
		The Volksraad of the South African Republic was divided into two chambers in 1890 in order to keep Boer control over state matters while still giving "foreigners" - many of whom were temporarily employed in the mining industry - a say in local affairs.
		This bicameral legislature consisted of a Second Volksraad, with suffrage for all white males above 16 years, as well as a First Volksraad (which was the highest authority in charge of state policy), with suffrage limited to persons above 30 with permanent property and a longer history of settlement.

		The Volksraad was the parliament of the former South African Republic (or Transvaal Republic) which existed from 1857 to 1902 in part of what is now the Republic of South Africa.
		The Volksraad of the South African Republic was divided into two chambers in 1890, in order to keep Afrikaaner (Dutch-speaking) control over state matters and still give the foreigners temporary employed in the mining industry a say in local affairs, and in order to fend off British complaints in this regard.
		The Volksraad of the Orange Free State was a body that ceased to exist after the British victory in 1902, in the Second Boer War (actually the fifth war, counting the two British occupation wars at the Cape in 1795 and 1803 and the occupation fights in Port Natal (Durban) in 1843).

		Volksraad’s current percentage of winners to runners is 68 per cent and he has a stakes winner-to-runners ration of 7.6 per cent.
		Volksraad’s Australian performers this season are headed by the exciting Gai Waterhouse-trained filly, Ponte Piccolo, a stakes winner of nearly a quarter of a million dollars who has made a real name for herself in her brief career to date.
		In fact, the deeds of Volksraad’s progeny across the Tasman, such as the current season stakes performances of Pretorius, Dezigna, Tusker and Roving Owl, contributed to six of Volksraad’s seven yearlings fetching over $100,000 at this year’s Karaka yearling sale, all of whom were purchased by Australian trainers.

		The choice of Volksraad, a sire best known for his sprinters, seems to have given this stout family the quality it needed to get to the next level.
		Willy Smith is a good example of this, by a sire who forged his reputation on the back of some good early maturing sprinters from a middle distance family laden with stamina focused damsires.
		The two conclusions for Willy Smith are; that Volksraad is more versatile than his reputation gives him credit for; and a sound running family shouldn’t be underestimated when given a chance with a champion sire.

		The strong Volksraad gelding lord Volksraad resumed racing on Wednesday at Sandown, Melbourne, with an impressive victory in the $A22,000, El Golea Hcp, 1200m.

		Lord Volksraad will meet much stiffer competition but with the the ease of the win on Wednesday his new campaign should hold much more in store.

	Strain on Payne is all in the rein - smh.com.au
		In the past, Lord Volksraad has been a difficult ride and his major rivals today are Storm Prince, trained by Lee Freedman and ridden by Damien Oliver, as well as the Tony McEvoy-prepared Metal Reign with Stephen Baster up.
		At his previous start, Lord Volksraad was beaten three-quarters of a length by Hydrometer in the Concept Sports Stakes, also a listed race, in which he met interference near the 400m.
		With Lord Volksraad coming from the one gate today, Payne may well have to indulge in a battle of tactics with Oliver on Storm Prince (gate four) and Metal Reign, one inside him.

		Then again there was trouble between the Volksraad and Pretorius; he had been confirmed in his position as Chief-Commandant, but even so he very frequently failed to see eye to eye with the legislative authority, and it need hardly be added that its members were always at loggerheads with each other.
		Jervis was of course perfectly right in stressing the Volksraad's overwhelming concern lest Dingaan rallied the Zulus and renewed the war; the snake had been scotched but it was not dead: the trekkers in Natalia could never really feel secure until Dingaan's power had been utterly eliminated.
		Once the alliance with Mpande had been concluded the Volksraad proceeded to pick a quarrel with Dingaan, and this was a matter of no great difficulty since the king was being uncommonly slack in fulfilling his treaty obligations to return looted cattle.

		When under the pressure of disturbances in the mother country, the Dutch Government declared itself after World War I in favour of greater participation of the population in Indonesia, it did not carefully consider the consequences.
		As 97% of the native population was illiterate, the Dutch officials did not regard the representatives of the native population in the Volksraad, as truly representing the Indonesian people.
		This considerably lessened respect for the Volksraad in the mother country.
