Clive Berrangè van Ryneveld (19 March 1928 – 29 January 2018) was a South African cricketer who played in 19 Test matches between 1951 and 1958.
[1] He was the son of Reginald Clive Berrangè van Ryneveld (1891–1969) and Maria Alfreda Blanckenberg (1900–1994).
According to an obituary by Sport24 he "was one of South Africa's greatest all-round sportsmen who represented and captained South Africa at cricket and represented England at rugby during his time as a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford University (where his older brother Anthony was also a Rhodes Scholar), but he will be remembered equally for the role he played in trying to create a just society for all in South Africa".
[2] E. W. Swanton, the English sports journalist and broadcaster, described Van Ryneveld as "just about the best centre three quarter of my time in English football ... he had speed, balance, jink and body swerve, lovely hands, a remarkably cool brain; and though comparatively light was indomitable in defence.
The party's platform was ahead of its time, and in the 1961 general election all of the Progressive MPs except one, Helen Suzman, lost their seats.
