Early lifeNosipho Dastile was born in 1938 in Uitenhage, where she attended her junior and secondary school education.

Her political activism grew from strength to strength and in an election held at the Uitenhage Town Hall, she was elected the inaugural president of the Uitenhage Women’s Organisation.[1] Political LifeSoon after the unbanning of political parties and exiled freedom fighters constituting the liberation movement in 1990, Nosipho was elected as the chairperson of the African National Congress Women’s League (ANCWL) for the Uitenhage region.
