IMBOKODO! 70 years of courage, resistance and legacy
On 9 August 1956, more than 20,000 women marched to the Union Buildings in Pretoria in protest against apartheid pass laws.
Seventy years later, the legacy of the 1956 Women’s March continues to shape South Africa’s National Women’s Day.
From Lillian Ngoyi, Helen Joseph, Rahima Moosa and Sophia Williams-De Bruyn to women making their mark today, IMBOKODO explores what courage, strength and resilience mean to South African women across generations.
So, what does it mean to be an Imbokodo in South Africa today?
We speak to women across the South African landscape about their experiences, their journeys and the meaning of strength in 2026.
