==Education==
Nyokong came from a poor background. She had to wear second-hand clothes and was barefoot. As a young girl she was sent to live with her grandparents in the mountains of Lesotho. She learnt about science by observing the wildlife whilst she worked as an eight-year-old〔 child caring for sheep.〔 Nyokong says that she would spend one day at school and then one day with the sheep as someone had to care for them.〔(Video interview with Tebello Nyokong ), 21 icons, Retrieved 9 November 2015〕 Nyokong says that one of her childhood ambitions was to own her own pair of shoes.〔(Behind the Icon – Tebello Nyokong: The compassionate scientist ), 10 May 2014, News24, Retrieved 9 November 2015〕 When she started school she was steered away from science as she was told that it was too hard. It was only with two years to go that she changed direction and with perseverance completed the science course.〔(Distinguished South African Professor Tebello Nyokong on science, education and innovation ), Scrapbook science, Nature, 13 October 2014, Retrieved 9 November 2015〕
Nyokong earned her bachelor's degree in both chemistry and biology from the University of Lesotho in 1977. She went on to earn her master's in chemistry from McMaster University in Ontario, Canada. In 1987, she received her Ph.D in chemistry from the University of Western Ontario.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.ru.ac.za/nanotechnology/staffstudents/staff/profnyokong/ )〕 After earning her PhD, she received a Fulbright fellowship to continue her post-doctoral studies at the University of Notre Dame in the United States.〔
