Lilian Masediba Ngoyi: Lilian Masediba Ngoyi (1911-1980) was a South African politician and women's rights activist. She was one of the co-founders of the Federation of South African Women (FEDSAW) in 1954, of which she became president in 1956. She travelled – in parts illegally - all over Europe and China to meet and form alliance with mainly left-leaning women's rights activists. She was the first woman elected to the Executive Committee of the ANC and fought persistently against the apartheid regime until she was banned from 1962 until her death, not being allowed to leave her home in Orlando, Soweto, and therefore, not being able to pursuit her political duties.
