SB stands for Special Branch. They were the secret police, to whom no laws applied, and many of them infiltrated the protest, some very noticeable, some not. This one was being questioned by students.
This was very early in the day, before police and Rand Afrikaans University students had gathered on the pavement opposite the protest. There is one lone RAU student sitting on the wall, waiting to watch the spectacle. By lunch time the student leaders and Prof Bozzoli had persuaded the protestors to stay on university property.
The people standing on the pavement are journalists and other non-students. Many of the students were sitting down. A rumor had arisen that if you were sitting down the police would arrest you without bashing you.
Three plain-clothes cops capturing a student. One is looking back at Raymond Tucker who is taking the photo. The baton in the hand of a cop to the left is not being used, perhaps because they knew Raymond was there with his camera. Many photos that were published in the newspapers showed the batons being used to bash students.
