Thomas Ekins Fuller

Sir Thomas Ekins Fuller (1831–1910) was editor of the Cape Argus newspaper and a prominent Member of the Legislative Assembly of the Cape Colony. Initially a moderate follower of the "Cape Liberal Tradition", he advocated for responsible government (local democracy) in the 1860s as editor of the Cape Argus newspaper (1864–1873). He also supported the inclusive, locally oriented politics of his liberal allies at the time.

Early life Tulle was born in West Drayton, Middlesex, to Reverend Andrew Fuller and his wife Esther Hobson.

In 1902, he became the Cape Colony's agent-general in London until 1907. He was made a Companion of the Most Distinguished Order of St Michael and St George (CMG) in 1903. Fuller married his second wife, Elizabeth Mann, in London in 1875.
