The South African Labour Party (Afrikaans: Suid-Afrikaanse Arbeidersparty), was a South African political party formed in March 1910 in the newly created Union of South Africa following discussions between trade unions, the Transvaal Independent Labour Party, and the Natal Labour Party. It was a professedly democratic socialist party representing the interests of the white working class. The party received support mostly from urban white workers and for most of its existence sought to protect them from competition from black and other non-white workers.
