33 1/3 rpm microgroove vinyl long playing record issued by the SABC transcription service, L.T 1629/1630. In plain sleeve as issued, looks unplayed. These transcription recordings were produced in very small quantities, and are consequently rather scarce. On 9 April 1960, Dr Verwoerd opened the Union Exposition on the Witwatersrand to mark the jubilee of the Union of South Africa. Having made his opening speech, he took his seat. Shortly afterwards, a fifty-two year-old farmer, David Pratt, an anti-apartheid activist and supporter of remaining in the Empire, walked up to him and fired two shots into his face. The Prime Minister was rushed to the hospital still alive. There, specialist surgeons were called in to remove the bullets. At first, there was speculation that Dr Verwoerd would lose his hearing and sense of balance, but these fears were to prove groundless. He returned to public life on 29 May, less than two months after the shooting. Click here for full details of this book, to ask a question or to buy it on-line.
