The aim of the Commission is to promote respect for human rights, promote the protection, development and attainment of human rights, and to monitor and assess the observance of human rights in SA. The SAHRC was launched on 21 March , 35 years after the fateful events of 21 March when demonstrators in Sharpeville were gunned down by police. The Native Laws Amendment Act of extended Government control over the movement of Africans to urban areas and abolished the use of the Pass Book a document which Africans were required to carry on them to 'prove' that they were allowed to enter a 'white area' in favour of a reference book which had to be carried at all times by all Africans.
Failure to produce the reference book on demand by the police, was a punishable offence. All African men were to take part in the campaign without their passes and present themselves for arrest. Campaigners gathered at police stations in townships near Johannesburg where they were dispersed by police. At the Sharpeville police station a scuffle broke out.
Part of a wire fence was trampled, allowing the crowd to move forward. The police opened fire, apparently without having been given a prior order to do so.
