Hendrik Frensch Verwoerd was Prime Minister of South Africa from 1958 until his assassination in 1966. Verwoerd was born in The Netherlands and emigrated at age two with his parents to South Africa. He served as Prime Minister of South Africa from 1958 until he was stabbed to death by an assassin in 1966. He was Prime Minister during the establishment of the Republic of South Africa in 1960, there by fulfilling the Afrikaner dream of an independent state for South Africans. During his tenure as Prime Minister, anti-Apartheid movements such as the African National Congress and Pan Africanist Congress were banned, and the Rivonia Trial, which prosecuted the struggle leaders, was held. Numerous major roads in towns and cities in South Africa were named after Dr. Verwoerd, Verwoerd Dam in the Orange Free State, H. F. Verwoerd Airport in Port Elizabeth, as was the town of Verwoerdburg South of Pretoria and H.F. Verwoerd Hospital in Pretoria & Hendrik Verwoerd Drive in Randburg
