Bread truck, robbed and burnt by pre-teen kids. This was a weekly happening, along with attacks on SA Brewery trucks!

"Hau, our textbooks are no good ... ". Students protest use of Afrikaans in school.

Funny how fast they run with a 40mm tear-gas round up their arses.

Me looking excited again. Yes, my eyes are again firmly SHUT, but I think this was just a blink :-)
