What is the slang term used to refer to the Passbooks?

The slang term "Dompas" specifically refers to the passbooks that were utilized during apartheid in South Africa. The passbooks were official documents that Black South Africans were required to carry at all times to restrict their movements and control their access to certain areas, reflecting the oppressive nature of the apartheid regime. The term "Dompas" is derived from "dumb pass," highlighting the derogatory perception of these documents among those subjected to the pass laws. This term became widely recognized among those opposed to apartheid and symbolizes the broader struggle against racial discrimination and control in South Africa.

The other options do not accurately represent the specific cultural and historical context of the passbooks. "Passports" typically refer to travel documents for international movement, "identity cards" can be used in various contexts and do not carry the same connotations, and "residency permits" involve a different legal framework concerning residency rights.
