Christiaan Frederick Beyers Naudé (10 May 1915 – 7 September 2004) was a South African cleric, theologian and the leading Afrikaner anti-apartheid activist.〔 He was known simply as Beyers Naudé, or more colloquially, ''Oom Bey'' (Afrikaans, Uncle Bey). ==Family background and early life== One of eight children, Beyers Naudé was born to Jozua François Naudé and Adriana Johanna Naude (nee) van Huysteen in Roodepoort, Transvaal (now Gauteng). The progenitor of the Naudé name was a French Huguenot refugee named Jacques Naudé who arrived in the Cape in 1718.〔''Ces Francais Qui Ont Fait L'Afrique Du Sud.''

Beyers Naudé was named for General Christiaan Frederick Beyers, under whom his father had served as a soldier and unofficial pastor during the second Anglo-Boer War.〔"Beyers Naudé."

The ''Broederbond'' became especially synonymous with the Afrikaner-dominated National Party that won power in 1948 and implemented the racial segregation policy of apartheid. The elder Naudé also helped produce the earliest translations of the Bible into Afrikaans.〔 In 1921, the Naudé family moved to the Cape Province town of Graaff-Reinet, in the Karoo region. Beyers Naudé attended Afrikaans Hoërskool (High School ), matriculating in 1931.〔〔"Mr Beyers Naudé." Who's Who of Southern Africa.

He graduated in 1939 with an MA in languages and a theology degree.〔 His sociology lecturer was the future prime minister and chief-architect of apartheid, H.F. Verwoerd.〔"C.F.
