- Hendrik_Verwoerd abstract "Hendrik Frensch Verwoerd (8 September 1901 – 6 September 1966), also known as Dr H.F Verwoerd, was a South African Psychology and Sociology professor, Afrikaans newspaper editor-in-chief and Prime Minister of South Africa. He is regarded as the mastermind behind socially engineering and implementing the racist policies of apartheid, the system of legal racial classification and forced racial segregation that existed in South Africa from 1948 to 1994. The aim of apartheid was to uphold Afrikaner white domination and the exploitation of black cheap labour in South Africa. Apartheid was rigidly enforced by means of oppressive laws as well as aggressive security services such as security police and army. Verwoerd was an authoritarian leader and right-wing Afrikaner nationalist. He was a strong advocate of the Afrikaner volk, language, culture and Christian religion. He held that white control over South Africa could only continue if the races lived apart in a form of divide and rule concept. He survived an assassination attempt in 1960, but was eventually assassinated in 1966.Prior to entering politics, Verwoerd was regarded as a brilliant Social Science scholar at Stellenbosch University. He completed his undergraduate studies with distinctions majoring in Psychology, Sociology and Philosophy. Verwoerd completed his Masters and Doctorate in Psychology graduating cum laude. As a result of his academic performance Verwoerd received a post-doctoral scholarship from the University of Oxford, but turned it down and continued his research in the fields of Psychology, Sociology, and Philosophy at various German universities. Upon his return to South Africa, a graduate in Philosophy and Psychology he was appointed as a professor of Applied Psychology at Stellenbosch University at the age of 26. He was then later appointed as head of the Sociology department in 1933.Verwoerd was Prime Minister during the establishment of the Republic of South Africa in 1961, thereby fulfilling the Afrikaner dream of an independent republic for South Africans. During his tenure as Prime Minister, anti-apartheid movements such as the African National Congress (ANC) and the Pan Africanist Congress (PAC) were banned, and the Rivonia Trial, which prosecuted ANC leaders, was held.Many major roads, places and facilities in cities and towns of South Africa were named after Verwoerd; in post-apartheid South Africa, most of these references to the creator of apartheid have been renamed. Famous examples include H. F. Verwoerd Airport in Port Elizabeth, renamed Port Elizabeth Airport, the Verwoerd Dam in the Free State, now the Gariep Dam, H. F. Verwoerd Academic Hospital in Pretoria, now Steve Biko Hospital, and the town of Verwoerdburg, now Centurion.".
