Anton Lembede was the first President of ANC Youth League, elected at the launch of the League in 1944. Born in 1914 on a farm in Natal, his family moved to the Orange Free State so that he could receive a formal education. He worked as a teacher and then as a lawyer, and eventually moved to Johannesburg to serve articles under Dr. Pixley ka-Isaka Seme, the veteran ANC leader. He qualified as an attorney in 1946 and partnered with Seme. He died in 1947, at the age of 33.
