Early life
editHendrickse was born on 31 May 1958.[1] He is the son of the Reverend Allan Hendrickse, who led the opposition Labour Party during apartheid.[2][3][4]
Legislative career
editWhile still in his twenties, and like his father and brothers, Hendrickse represented the Labour Party in the Tricameral Parliament during apartheid.[5] In South Africa's first post-apartheid elections in 1994, he stood as a candidate for the ANC and was elected to a seat in the National Assembly.[6] He was re-elected to his seat in 1999.[1] Though he was not initially re-elected in 2004,[7] he was sworn in shortly after the start of the legislative term, in July 2004, after Mzwandile Masala resigned.[8] The ANC did not nominate him to stand for a fourth term in the 2009 general election.[5]
