Carel Willem Hendrik Boshoff (9 November 1927 – 16 March 2011)[1] was a South African professor of theology and Afrikaner white nationalist.

He spoke the Sepedi (Northern Sotho) language fluently and served as Secretary of Missions for the Dutch Reformed Church.

[citation needed] Boshoff's wife (also named Anna), whom he married in 1954, was the daughter of Hendrik Verwoerd who served as prime minister of South Africa (1958-1966) and became known as the architect of apartheid.

Boshoff had attempted to affiliate his group to the Federasie van Afrikaanse Kultuurvereniginge soon after its foundation but the application was rejected due to the political nature of the Volkswag.

[citation needed] After he became disabled due to illness, his son, Carel Boshoff IV, took over all the above positions.
