To leave the township for work in the city, or for any other reason, you had to carry a pass with your ID number; otherwise you could be arrested. There was also a curfew: after a certain hour, blacks had to be back home in the township or risk arrest. My mother didn’t care. She was determined to never go home [to Soweto] again. So she stayed in town, hiding and sleeping in public restrooms until she learned the rules of navigating the city. […]
