Economic League (South West Africa)

The Economic League (South West Africa) was an organization operating in South West Africa (present-day Namibia) primarily during the period of South African administration, particularly from the early to mid-20th century. Its main purpose was to promote the economic interests of white settlers and businesses within the territory. While precise details regarding its formation, membership, and activities can be limited in readily available historical records, it is generally understood to have functioned as a pressure group advocating for policies that favored the economic advancement of the white minority.

The League likely engaged in lobbying the South African administration, promoting favorable land distribution policies, influencing labor practices, and advocating for infrastructure development that benefitted white-owned enterprises. Given the context of apartheid and the racially segregated society in South West Africa, the Economic League's activities inherently contributed to the economic disenfranchisement and marginalization of the indigenous African population.

The exact duration of the Economic League's existence and the extent of its influence are areas that require further historical research. The organization's activities faded as South West Africa moved towards independence and the political landscape shifted.
