Algemeen Nederlandsch Verbond

The Algemeen Nederlandsch Verbond (A.N.V.) was a cultural association founded in Cape Town in 1908. It also had a branch in Paarl.

In 1809 it established a theatre division named Aurora in 1909, probably in reference to, or association with, members of the - by then defunct - Rederijkerskamer (oratory-club) of the same name (often referred to as Aurora II). The new Aurora lasted till 1914.
