Typical apartheid scene

Toy soldiers were "adapted" to make Xhosa people 'toyi-toyi' ing (an African way of dancing while protesting) and to make police men. Card board was used to make the buildings, shacks and Casspir (riot vehicle). From reading more widely now, it becomes obvious that the protests were often peaceable when the police were not. I feel such compassion on people like Mandela, who tried by all means to bring about fairness without violence, and only resorted to guerilla tactics on unmanned government premises when all non violent means were failing (after 30 years of peaceful pressure.)

The smoke from the burning tyre (in case you were wondering) is cotton wool covering a pipe cleaner to make the smoke rise. Click on the photos if you want to read the banners.
