Trouble in Tokoza

I spent today running around the Tokoza township, covering a violent service delivery protest.
It was a rush to be back in the thick of things after the two weeks we spent reporting on the xenophobic mayhem last year.
It was also a poignant assignment because Tokoza was where Ken Oosterbroek (the Bang Bang club) was slain in the 1990s and Khumalo Street (where we were today) was where a lot of our history was recorded by Oosterbroek and his friends. Greg Marinovich (who was wounded in Tokoza) was there today, shooting video footage. I wondered how it felt for him to walk those streets again and see the community swell in anger, threatening to explode.
It seems like we are in for a wave of these protests and I will bring you more on this as they develop. But in the meantime, I wanted to share something a little more light-hearted. China had their "tank man": the brave (unidentified) man who stood alone in front of a row of tanks during the protests. The Gaza strip had that incredible woman who pushed back a row of soldiers demolishing houses. Throughout history there have been images capturing incredible resistance to military and police force. Here, for your viewing pleasure, is South Africa's very own:
