John Grulsbone (17**- 18**) was a Cape Town businessman (Bosman, however, expresses some doubt about the actual spelling of the surname, taken from a written manuscript.) One of the original 24 shareholders, to whom a section of the Boerenplein ("Farmer's Square", also known as Hottentot's Square or Van Riebeeck Square) was donated by Sir George Yonge for the building of a theatre, which became The African Theatre.
