The Afrikaner Bond (Afrikaans and Dutch for "Afrikaner Union"; South African Dutch: Afrikander Bond) was a political party in the Cape Colony. It came to have branches in the other states of southern Africa, especially the Afrikaner republics of the Orange Free State and Transvaal.
The Afrikaner Bond was distinct from the later Afrikaner Broederbond which, while similarly named, professed a considerably more extreme ideology.

Famous quotes containing the words afrikaner and/or bond:
“There is only one element that can break the Afrikaner, and that is the Afrikaner himself. It is when the Afrikaner, like a baboon shot in the stomach, pulls out his own intestines. We must guard against that.”
—P.W. (Pieter Willem)
“Camillo. Prosperity’s the very bond of love,
Whose fresh complexion and whose heart together
Affliction alters.
Perdita. One of these is true:
I think affliction may subdue the cheek,
But not take in the mind.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
