Standerton's claim to fame is that it was, for many years, the parliamentary constituency of General Smuts, South African Prime Minister, 1919-1924 and 1939 – 1948. General Smuts was a great South African, a great imperial statesman and a great world leader. He first posited the idea of a League of Nations in 1917, which caught the imagination of President Woodrow Wilson. Smuts, it was, who wrote the preamble to the United Nations Charter in 1946 at San Francisco. He lost power to the National party of Apartheid in 1948 and lost the Standerton seat as well.
