AWB Judgement

 AWB (Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging - Afrikaner Resistance Movement) members outside the Ventersdorp Magistrates court in the North-West province, during the judgement of Chris Mahlangu and Patrick Ndlovu, two farm workers that are accused of murdering the AWB leader Eugene Terreblanche. Mahlangu was found guilty, whilst Ndlovu was found guilty of housebreaking.

 Protesters outside the court support Mahlangu and praise him for killing the right-wing leader. The situation was volatile as Mahlangu supporters taunted the usually militant AWB, but the police presence kept the situation relatively calm.

DA COSATU clash

COSATU (Congress of South African Trade Unions) members waited for a march to their head office in Braamfontein, Johannesburg by the Democratic Alliance (DA) to deliver a memorandum to urge the trade-unions to support a youth wage subsidy. They blocked the route to the office, resulting in a tense stand off which eventually broke into violence when certain members of COSATU hurled bricks into the DA crowd. I was surprised to see quite a few of the bricks being flung back at COSATU. Things got out of control quite quickly after that.

The "stand off" as both groups are seperated by meters, a few cops and some journalists.
