"Open City" walk in Cape Town to protest against the Group Areas Act

About 2000 people participated in an 'Open City' walk to indicate their opposition to the Group Areas Act which reserves certain residential areas for different race groups. This participant, with a banner saying "it's my country I will live where I choose to!!", was instructed not to hold his banner because the police had forbidden the display of any banners and posters. He tied the poster to his back so was not 'holding' it.

A team of 5 runners left from near Pollsmoor prison at the start of a relay scheduled to end at a Gugulethu Sports Stadium as part of the Mandela 70th birthday celebrations. However the runners were arrested shortly before arriving in Wynberg. Police and military also sealed off the Stadium in Gugulethu and prohibited the sporting events which were due to take place there.
