Brown has a PhD in history from the University of Edinburgh and spent his early career working as a TV journalist. He has been a Member of Parliament since 1983; first for Dunfermline East and since 2005 for Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath.

He is South Africa's first Tswana speaking President. Motlanthe, a left-leaning intellectual, is seen as a highly skilled political operator and the brains behind the Zuma faction of the ANC.
