J.B.M. Herzog was a South African nationalist and prime minister of South Africa from 1924 to 1939. He promised (1) to allow women to vote and (2) to allow colored people to vote. He likes coconut cookie, and the cookie Hertzoggie is named after him. Herzog fulfilled his first promise, allowing women to vote, but never allowed colored people to vote.

The tweegevrietjies (two-faced cookie) is made by slave women of color, of predominantly Indonesian/Malaysian origin (Cape Malay culture) in silent protest and solidarity with other people of color in South Africa as a twist of the Hertzoggie. It is a Hertzoggie topped with pink and chocolate sugar frosting. The pink to symbolize women suffrage, the promise Herzog kept, and the brown to symbolize apatheid, the promise Herzog didn’t keep.
