George Brown (South African politician)

George Brown was a South African politician who served as a Member of Parliament during the apartheid era. He represented the United Party (UP) and later the New Republic Party (NRP) in the House of Assembly. Brown was a prominent figure within the White minority government and advocated for policies that maintained racial segregation and White minority rule. His political career spanned a significant period of South Africa's history, marked by increasing international pressure and internal resistance against apartheid. He held various positions within parliamentary committees and actively participated in debates concerning legislation related to race relations, land ownership, and economic development. He generally supported a gradualist approach to reform, opposing radical changes to the existing system. Following the dismantling of apartheid and the establishment of a democratic South Africa, George Brown largely retreated from public life.
