HofmeyrSan HendrikBorn in the capital of the Colony, July 4, 1845, his father, Jan Hendrik Hofmeyr, of Cape Town, having been the descendant of an ancestor of exactly the same name, who left Eppenburcn to settle in the Cape Colony early in the eighteenth century. The subject of our sketch was educated at the South African College, and began his career as a journalist on the staff of the Volksvriend, of which he afterwards became proprietor. In 1871 he purchased the Zuid Afrikaan, amalgamated the two papers, and thus became the controller of a very powerful Press organ. Seven years later he founded the Boeren Vcrecniging (Farmers' Association), starting with purely local aims, mainly to combat the Excise, but eventually, in 1883, after an evidently impending rivalry, this association joined forces with the Afrikander Bond, which at first had been supposed to be hostile to British rule. But Mr Hofmeyr rapidly became the virtual controller of the Bond, and from that time it was not at any rate officially disloyal, though he has been suspected of a desire to constitute SA an independent Republic. Mr Hofmeyr entered the Cape Legislative Assembly as member for Stellenbosch in 1879. He was for a short time a member of Sir Thomas Scanlen's Ministry without portfolio. He was offered the Premiership in 1884, but declined. In 1887 he was one of the Cape delegates to the first Colonial Conference in London and again at Ottawa in 1894. He was a member of the Customs Union Conferences at Cape Town in 1888, and at Bloemfontein in the following year. In 1890 he acted as HM Special Agent to Pretoria, to induce the Transvaal Govt, to sign the Swaziland Convention, his success in the matter at the time having been thought to have averted war. Though he had retired from active political life in 1894, he, at the time of the Jameson Raid, exercised considerable influence over Lord Rosmead, at that time High Commissioner. He also endeavoured to act as arbiter during the crisis preceding the Boer War, and while retaining the nominal leadership of the Dutch Afrikander party, who are devoted to him and believe and trust him implicitly, he was at one time the hope of the Moderates and persona grata with the Colonial Office. He is chairman of the Afrikander Bond Committee on Elections, and on the occasion of Mr Chamberlain's visit to South Africa he issued an appeal in favour of reconciliation between the English and Dutch after the War. He is president of various Cape Town and Stellenbosch cricket and football clubs. Mr Hofmeyr married, Sep 1, 1900, Johanna Hendriksz. of Somerset West.Unknown
