Progressive Reform Party (South Africa)

The Progressive Reform Party (Afrikaans: Progressiewe Reformiste Party) was a South African party that was formed on 26 July 1975 by the fusion of the Reform Party led by Harry Schwarz and the Progressive Party led by Colin Eglin.

[1] Harry Schwarz predicted that the merger would lead to a "new political dimension in South Africa."

Colin Eglin was elected leader of the party while Harry Schwarz was made Chairman of the Federal Executive.

A number of United Party members left to form the Committee for a United Opposition, which then joined the Progressive Reform Party to form the Progressive Federal Party with Colin Eglin as its leader.
