7. Really 4, but Botha and de Klerk counted for 5 so that was nice.

17. I could name all the heads of government, of course (this is something I can do offhand), but not the figureheads.

23/25... All except for Diederichs and Naude (though I only got Fouche through typing in random Afrikaner like names)

8 (really 5 or 6, but apparently there was another Botha and another de Klerk). Botha, de Klerk, Mandela, Mbeki, and Zuma.

10. Really 8 though due to the double de Klerk/Botha. Got those two, Zuma, Mbeki, Mandela and Vorster.

14 (but really 13 as I was unaware there was another de Klerk).
I have got the same than Morgieb + Smuts, Malan and Fouche. I remember the last only because he bear the same name as Napoleon's police minister. I should however have remember Hertzog, Verwoerd and Motlanthe but had no clue about the others.

Almost all, amazingly. I missed two Acting State Presidents when the office was ceremonial.

19. I had known there were two Bothas but not two De Klerks. Also this was cruel- acting state presidents and unimportant figureheads?

I got 14. 15 really, but couldn't remember how to spell Hertzog. Didn't get any hits on writing de Klerk/De Klerk and had to type FW before I got it, strange. Since some of you got Johannes for free.

EDIT: For some reason you get both if you just type Klerk.
