Winnie and I were relaxing after supper when she quietly informed me that she intended to join the group of Orlando women who would be pro testing the following day at the pass? office. I was a bit taken aback, and while I was pleased at her sense of commitment and admired her courage, I was also wary. Winnie had become increasingly politicized since our marriage and had joined the ANC's Women's League.

I told her I welcomed her decision, but that I had to warn her about the seriousness of her action. It would, I said, in a single act, radically change her life. I told her that if she was arrested she would certainly be sacked by her employer, the provincial administration we both knew it was her small income that was supporting the household - and that she could probably never work again as a social worker. Finally, she was pregnant, and I warned her of the physical hardship and humiliations of jail. I myself had mixed emotions, for theconcerns of a husband and a leader do not always coincide.

But Winnie is a determined person. She listen- ed to all I said and informed me that her mind was made up. [...]

Hundreds of women converged on the Central Pass Office in downtown Johannesburg. They were old and young; some carried babies on their backs, some wore tribal blankets while others dress- ed in smart suits. They sang, marched and chanted. Within minutes, they were surrounded by dozens of armed police, who arrested all of them, packed them into vans and drove them to Marshall Square police station. The women were cheerful throughout; as they were being driven away, some called to reporters, "Tell our madams we won't be at work tomorrow!" All told, more than a thousand women were arrested.

( Nelson Mandela, Long Walk to Freedom, 1994.)
