Sea Point (House of Assembly of South Africa constituency)

Sea Point was a parliamentary constituency in the House of Assembly of South Africa. It was located in the affluent coastal suburb of Sea Point, Cape Town. The constituency was primarily represented by the Democratic Party (DP) and its predecessors, reflecting the generally liberal political leanings of the area.

The constituency's history mirrors the changing political landscape of South Africa, existing throughout the apartheid era and into the transition to a democratic society. The boundaries of the constituency may have shifted slightly over time due to redistricting and population changes.

Following the dismantling of apartheid and the implementation of a new constitution, the House of Assembly was replaced by a new parliamentary structure. Consequently, the Sea Point constituency ceased to exist in its original form. The area it covered is now incorporated into larger, proportionally representative electoral districts.

Key characteristics of the constituency included a predominantly English-speaking electorate, a high socio-economic status relative to other parts of South Africa, and strong support for opposition parties during the apartheid era. Its representation in the House of Assembly provided a voice for liberal and anti-apartheid viewpoints within the government.
