Brian Bunting

Brian Bunting (9 April 1920 – 18 June 2008) was a South African activist and journalist known as a stalwart of the South African Communist Party (SACP). He represented the African National Congress (ANC) in the National Assembly from 1994 to 1999.

Bunting was involved in the anti-apartheid movement in the 1950s and was briefly a native representative in the all-white House of Assembly from 1952 until 1953, when he was expelled for his communist affiliation. He went into exile in England from 1963 to 1991 to avoid state persecution. During that time, he wrote non-fiction books and edited the ''African Communist'', the SACP's mouthpiece. He also spent several decades as a member of the Central Committee of the SACP. Provided by Wikipedia
