Wynand Boshoff

Wynand Boshoff (born 26 May 1970) is a South African academic and politician from the Northern Cape serving as a Member of the National Assembly of South Africa for the Freedom Front Plus (FF+) since 2019. He has been serving as the Provincial Leader of the FF+ since 2015. He previously served as a municipal councillor of the Sol Plaatje Local Municipality from 2016 to 2019. Boshoff is the grandson of the assassinated apartheid-era Prime Minister of South Africa, Hendrik Verwoerd, who served from 1958 until 1966, and the son of Afrikaner enclave Orania founder, Carel Boshoff. Quotes The Freedom Front Plus has a focused approach to the interests of minorities and the accommodation of cultural diversity in the current multinational state. That focus dictates to a certain measure the questions we attend to and sometimes there is very little competition in those areas. Our most important mechanism of competition is a highly developed work ethic. Each of our members covers several departments and puts in the extra effort to do so. In addition, we do not regard all other parties as competition. There are parties with a mandate from their voters which is different than ours, yet we share some values and interests. It is easy to co-operate with such parties and individual members. Even those parties with which we share very little, are approached with an attempt to understand, even when we oppose. The parliamentary staff are extremely helpful. Committee secretaries and researchers with whom I worked maintained a high level of non-partisan assistance. I was especially dependent on these staff members with the Portfolio Committees on Basic Education, and Mineral Resources and Energy, where I am not a member. For these staff members, I have only the highest regard, as they supported me in several ways, without really knowing me.
