When I was a young Voortrekker, our Veldtkornet William Peter Steyn took us to the Johannesburg Park Station to meet and greet the Prime Minister, who was travelling on the White Train from Cape Town to Pretoria. In those far off days that was the normal mode of transport. He did not have a hundred armed guards protecting him.
