Jub Jub Court protest

A young protester hurls a stone at the police water cannon after it sprayed a section of the crowd, (including me :) during a protest outside the Protea Magistrates Court in Soweto. The students are protesting over a case in which a local hip hop star, Jub Jub is being charged with murder after driving into and killing four students during a drag race and was found to be under the influence of cocaine and alcohol.

Ivory Park protest

Another service delivery protest, same old, same old. When will these people demanding free houses, free electricity, free everything realise that the government doesn't care if they destroy their areas by burning tyres and and emptying rubbish all over the roads, the powers that be are too busy filling their own pockets with the money...I spoke to one young protester, who told me they wanted free houses, free electricity, free education, better roads etc. I asked him if they wanted jobs to be created, he didn't seem too keen about that.
