Paul Kruger is on the Krugerrand. I think it's amusing that the ANC government is striking coins with a hero of the Boer resistance on them, rather than change the design.
Then again, I suppose it's all about reconciliation, and history (and perhaps marketing). I don't mind his being on the coins--and having roads and streets named after him and other heroes of the old regime--but the irony is certainly there.
