Excerpt from The Constitution (Grondwet) Of the South African Republic They shall be resident, and shall possess fixed property in the Republic. Anybody of notoriously bad character, or who has had a degrading sentence passed on him, shall not be eligible. Volksraad members shall not be related to each other in the degree of father and son, full or half brothers, or uncle and nephew by consanguinity. Coloured persons and bastards shall not be admitted to the Councils of the State. Everybody who can supply proof contrary to the above shall be at liberty to send the same to the President of the Executive Council before any such member shall have taken his seat. In case such evidence shall be sufficiently convincing, the President of the Executive Council shall hand the same, before the opening of the session, to the Chairman of the Volksraad, and shall urge the removal of the member in question.
