Even the BBC Gets it Wrong!
On the BBC website, under the History Channel section, the programme "This Sceptered Isle" mis-spells the name of the President of the Transvaal, Paul Kruger after whom the Kruger National Park and the Krugerrand are named:-

The Boer War Turns the Century
In 1899 the Second Boer War started. Cecil Rhodes instructed Dr Jameson to invade the Transvaal and overthrow the President, Paul Krugger. This invasion failed but relations between Britain and the Afrikaners worsened. Rhodes wanted a United South Africa and a Cape to Cairo Railway running through British territory all the way. Krugger wanted the Transvaal to remain Afrikaner.
Krugger and the Boers felt their way of life was threatened by the British and war broke out in 1898. The Boers laid siege to Ladysmith, Mafeking and Kimberley. They tried to capture the towns but failed and retreated. The British gained the upper hand and annexed The Orange Free State and the Transvaal. Krugger fled. The British thought they had won but the Boers now embarked on a guerilla campaign. The war finally ended in 1906.
