Protest season

Yesterday Pick n Pay and Woolworths did a protest march and today students did one. This is an interesting photo because just before the marches arrived there was a car accident. In Rissik Street the traffic flows from the right to left. A car (silver Opel Corsa) came out of the Park Station upper parking to turn right and not seeing any cars coming from his left he preceded. He did not expect a police car (white Ford Territory closest to the camera) to come down the wrong way leading the student protesters. Although not much damage, both cars had to stay put while the riot police and protesters past. On the wall of Park Station the old South African coat of arms from the apartheid era can be clearly seen. Not to mention the new terminus of the Gautrain being built.
