Faghme Abrahams is a former cricketer from South Africa who competed during the apartheid period. Due to racial segregation policies, as a player of color, his participation was confined to the Howa Bowl competition, which initially lacked first-class status but was later recognized as such in the early 1990s.
Between 1974 and 1987, Abrahams played for Eastern Province, appearing in no fewer than 60 matches classified as first-class. During the 1978–79 season, when Eastern Province secured the Howa Cup title, he emerged as the top run-getter for his team, amassing 227 runs with an average of 25.22. His personal best in first-class cricket was an innings of 86 runs scored in March 1978 against Transvaal, a performance that played a significant role in their triumph.
