Umnqopho omkhulu womBuso weBandlululo bekukuhlukanisa abantu ngokobutjhaba khona uzokukghona ukubalawula kuhle. Lokho bekwenzelwe bona abantu abanzima basebenze emakhuweni wendaweni yemakhabo. Kodwana amadlelo alihlaza besele atholakala ngaphandle kwendawo ababelwe kiyo, yeke abantu abanzima besele batholakala eendaweni ezingaphandle kwalezo abahlala kizo. Ngikho nje umBuso weBandlululo weza nehlelo lokuthi nangabe umuntu uzokuya namkha asebenze andaweni yangaphandle kweyekhabo kufuze uthole imvumo. Woke umuntu ofuna ukusuka lapha ahlala khona aye kenye indawo ngananyana ngiliphi ibanga bekufuze aphathe ipasa. Yeke imithetho le yathoma ngokusebenza khulukhulu emadodeni.

UmThetho i-Natives (Urban Areas) Act wango-1923 bewuthi woke umuntu onzima oyindoda otholakala eendaweni zabamhlophe kufuze aphathe ipasa ngaso soke isikhathi. Nanyana ngubani ozokutholakala angakaphathi ipasa uzokubotjhwa athunyelwe ethrestini lekhabo. Ngo-1955 urhulumende webandlululo waqunta bona amapasa bekungakafuzi aphathwe madoda kwaphela, kodwana nananyana ngimuphi umfazi ongaphezu kweminyaka eli-16 kufuze aphathe ipasa nakaya eendaweni ezihlala abamhlophe. Lokho kwabatshwenya khulu abafazi ngombana bebayibona indlela umthetho wepasa othinta ngayo amadoda abaphila nawo. Kwezinye iikhathi bekungibo abafazi abezako bazokukhupha amadoda ejele ababanjwe ngombana bakhohlwe amapasa ekhaya. 

Lokho ngikho okwenza abomma abangaphasi kwehlangano i-Federation of South African Women (FSAW) bathathe igadango lokutjhagala. Ngomhla ka-9 kuRhoboyi 1956 abomma abazii-20 000 bamatjhela e-Union Building ePitori ngesinghonghoyilo sokuthi awuphele umthetho wamapasa. Kodwana kwafana nokuthela amanzi emhlana wedada. Ngikho nje ilangeli ligidingwa eSewula Afrika yoke ngoRhoboyi, iNyanga yaboMma.
