Johannes Jacobus "Keppies" Niemann (born 19 September 1936)[1] is a retired South African politician. He represented the National Party (NP) and New National Party (NNP) in the National Assembly from 1994 to 2004, gaining election in 1994[2] and 1999.[1] He represented the Northern Cape constituency. When the NNP joined the Democratic Alliance in 2000, he was appointed as the alliance's spokesman on transport.[3]
Niemann left Parliament after the 2004 general election.[4] He formerly represented the NP in the apartheid-era House of Assembly, and at the time of his departure in 2004 he was considered by News24 to be "the most senior member of the party in a public position".[4]
