Willie Aucamp

Willem Abraham Stephanus Aucamp is a South African politician from the Northern Cape. He has been a permanent delegate to the National Council of Provinces since 2019. He is one of six permanent delegates from the Northern Cape and is a member of the Democratic Alliance.

Political career
Aucamp's father was formerly the leader of the Afrikaner Eenheidsbeweging (AEB) but resigned in 2003 to form the National Action (NA). Aucamp joined his father's new party and became its Gauteng provincial leader. However, the NA lost all of its parliamentary representation in the April 2004 general election and was soon dissolved. Aucamp subsequently joined the African National Congress (ANC) with his newlywed wife.

He later joined the Democratic Alliance (DA). In 2016, he was elected as a ward councillor of the Ga-Segonyana Local Municipality.

In May 2019, Aucamp was elected to the National Council of Provinces. He is one of six permanent delegates from the Northern Cape. In 2020, he stood for election as leader of the DA's Northern Cape branch. However, when the provincial congress was held on 5 December 2020, he lost the vote to the outgoing provincial chairperson, Harold McGluwa.

Personal life
Aucamp married New National Party (NNP) spokesperson Carol Johnson in July 2004. The marriage was short-lived as Johnson filed for divorce in September 2004, citing Aucamp's financial status and her not being informed about his child that was born out of wedlock.
