Sir Henry Bartle Frere, 1st Bt
by Sir George Reid

The Royal Society of South Africa is a learned society composed of eminent South African scientists and academics. The society was granted its royal charter by King Edward VII in 1908,[1][2] nearly a century after Capetonians first began to conceive of a national scholarly society. The 1877 founder and first president of the society was Sir Bartle Frere (1815–1884).[1]

Fellows are entitled to the post-nominal letters FRSSAf.
