Nathaniel Impey Honono (21 October 1908 – 31 December 1986), also known as Tshutsha,[1] was a prominent South African activist. He was a graduate of the University of Fort Hare and became the president of the Cape African Teachers Association (CATA) in 1945, where he used his influence to oppose government education policies. Honono was a dedicated member of various organizations, including the Non-European Unity Movement (NEUM) and the All-African Convention. He worked closely with fellow activists like Isaac Bangani Tabata to advance the rights of marginalized communities and challenge apartheid policies. Honono's commitment extended to enduring repression, imprisonment without trial, and efforts to seek international recognition for the NEUM's anti-apartheid struggle.
