On the 9th August, in 1956, four women- Lilian Ngoyi, Sophia Williams DeBruyn, Rahima Moosa and Helen Joseph - led a 20,000 strong, multi-racial women’s march to the Union Buildings in Pretoria, which was the seat of the ruling apartheid regime at the time. • The women were petitioning the government against the introduction of passes which were used to separate black South Africans from the rest of the population and limit their movement. • Produced by Esther Ogola • Illustrations by George Wafula • Subscribe: http://bit.ly/subscribetoafrica • Website: https://www.bbc.com/africa • Facebook: / bbcnewsafrica • Twitter: / bbcafrica • Instagram: / bbcafrica
