Wits protests

The man on the left is Brigadier Schroeder. Next to him is Caroline Clark of the Sunday Times, and next to and slightly behind her is Larry Butchins of the Sunday Tribune. Later in the day both Caroline and Larry were arrested, and they had to endure a long trial, which ended with them each having to pay a fine of R50. In the middle is Prof Bozzoli, the Vice-Chancellor of Wits University. The man with horn-rimmed spectacles just behind Bozzoli's left shoulder is Adam Klein, who was a member of the Students Representative Council. Adam left South Africa four years later while the security police were looking for him hoping to hand him a banning order. The man on the right in a white T-shirt is Jasper Mortimer, who was arrested later that day. He became a journalist, and now lives in Turkey and reports for France 24.
