A curious crowd. Police opened fire. Everyone flees. Some smiling thinking blanks are being used. After the people's protest; after the Sharpeville killings; after 20 000 people had been detained; the government closed another chapter in our country's history. There was to be no change. Apartheid and baasskap was here to stay.
