History of Green politics in South Africa

The Ecology Party was established in November 1989, but disbanded after recruiting only 1 800 members.

Ian Brownlie launched the Green Party (GRP) in July 1992, but it too disbanded after failing to win a seat in the Western Cape Provincial legislature during the 1994 Provincial and National general elections under the leadership of Nathan Grant.
