History of Green politics in South Africa
The Ecology Party was established in November 1989, but disbanded after recruiting only 1 800 members.[cite book|last=Kotzé|first=Hendrik Jakobus|coauthors=Anneke Greyling|title=Political organizations in South Africa A-Z|origyear=1994|edition=2|publisher=Tafelberg|id=ISBN 0-624-03261-2] ]Ian Brownlie launched the Green Party (GRP) in July 1992, but it too disbanded after failing to win a seat in the 1994 Western Cape provincial elections under the leadership of Nathan Grant.
Judy Sole founded the Government by the People Green Party (GPGP) in 1999, and the party has contested elections as the Green Party of South Africa since the 2000 local elections. The Cape Town Greens, the party's only constitutional association, withdrew its support before the 2004 general election and then disbanded. [Ashton, Glenn [2004] . "Cape Times"]
