George Stephen Kempis (25 November 1871 – 17 March 1948) was a
Transvaal from 1892 to 1894.[1]
A medium-pace bowler, his best bowling performance came in Transvaal's match against
Griqualand West in 1892–93, when he opened the bowling in the second innings and took 4 for 34.[2] He toured England with the first South African touring team in 1894, when no first-class matches were played, but he had little success.[3]
His elder brother Gus played in South Africa's inaugural Test match in 1889.
