George Naicker (1 June 1919 – 8 April 1998) was a prominent South African anti-apartheid activist of Indian Tamil descent.
Billy Nair, whose association with Naicker dated from 1950 when he was a branch member of the Seaview, Bellair, Hilary and Umhlatuzana area of the Natal Indian Congress, says that Naicker was a delegate to the Congress of the People and joined the South African Communist Party in 1955/56, i.e. in its illegal period.
He served his 14-year sentence to the day and returned home to further restrictions and house arrest orders on the 28 February 1978.
Today many peacetime activists have surfaced, but Naicker through the organisations he worked in challenged the might of the Nationalist party, incurred their wrath and took whatever punishment was meted out.
Naicker was charged with taking care of the assets of the ANC in Lusaka and elsewhere, in a traumatic period, where some tried to personalize the organisation's possessions.
