Much of the life and the origins of the artistic talents of Dumile Feni (1939/42–1991) are veiled in mystery — even his birth year remains unconfirmed. Dumile was born sometime between 1939 and 1942 in the small town of Withuis in Worcester. Until his twenties, he was largely self-taught until he came into the circles of Bill Anslie, Cecil Skotnes, and the Badsha family in Durban. Dumile is widely considered to be one of the most skilled and compelling proponents of a style of politically-motivated late-modernist expressionism, which most of his contemporaries intentionally avoided for the risk of attracting attention from the dreaded Security Branch of the then South African Police.
