Florence Mophosho information

Florence Mophosho (1921 – 9 August 1985) was a South African politician and anti-apartheid activist of the African National Congress (ANC). A stalwart of the ANC Women's League, she was a member of the ANC National Executive Committee from 1975 until her death in 1985.

After joining the ANC in 1952 in Alexandra, Mophosho was involved in organising several historic anti-apartheid protests inside South Africa, including the 1956 Women's March and the 1957 Alexandra bus boycott. From 1964 until her death, she lived in exile with the ANC, rising to prominence as the organisation's representative to the Women's International Democratic Federation and then, from 1971, as the head of the ANC Women's Section.
