In 1956, police killed four and injured others during a march in Lichtenburg [Northern Transvaal, now North West Province] that protested against passes for women. In 1957, Molete, also from Lichtenburg, came to the notice of the authorities when a pamphlet entitled “Burning of pass books, Rooijantjiesfontein, Lichtenburg” was found on him. He was allegedly distributing them in Johannesburg.
