Red Ants

The controversial Red Ants arrived today to block off part of Loveday Street outside Metrorail and started evicting a bus rank that caters for the long distance trade. Bulldozers arrived as soon as they moved the people off the land and demolished all structures. They chose a quiet day as COSATU (Congress of South African Trade Unions) held a national strike against rising food, fuel and electricity prices. They marched to the Union Buildings in Pretoria which kept the Red Ants free to do their dirty deed in Johannesburg.
