August is Women’s month in South Africa. This is in commemoration of the 1956 Women’s march to Pretoria, the seat of government during the apartheid regime in South Africa. The march was organised by women in protest of the pass laws instituted by the regime as a way of controlling the movements of black people in the country. To celebrate this feat, Channel Africa features prominent South African women, who took part in the struggle for freedom in South Africa including those who fought alongside their men-folk. What roles did women play in the fight for freedom in your country?
