On 9 August 1956 a heroic march to the Union Buildings was organised and led by women struggle stalwarts, including Lilian Ngoyi, Helen Joseph and Rahima Moosa, as well as the hon member Sophia de Bruyn, the only one who is still with us today. They led 20 000 women to the Union Buildings to protest against the pass laws. To celebrate the restoration of the identity and dignity of the people of South Africa, especially women, we witnessed the President dedicating and naming the smart ID machines after struggle stalwarts Lilian Ngoyi, Helen Joseph, Rahima Moosa and Sophia de Bruyn.
