rare relics of an extraordinary system that forced its native population to carry passports to travel in their own country. These little "Bewysboeks" were mandatory for all. If one was caught outside one's township at night for example, they would immediately be arrested. It boggles the mind to consider the total control that was imposed on South Africa's native population, not to mention the exploitation of their natural resources.
