Economy under Verwoerd

This article focuses too much on Apartheid and it does not mention his administration. I remember reading somewhere that under him South Africa had the highest economic growth rate in history, and R1 (the currency) was worth more than $1. If I can find it I will update. (User talk:Johnmars3)

Please remove thw title of "The Honourable"

This man was the architect of a gross system of human rights violations in South Africa known as Apartheid. He cannot be referred to as "The Honourable", this is offensive and insensitive to the history of the country. 197.89.150.53 (talk) 13:13, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
