There are some good action photos futher down in this post. I am sure this is going to be the most comprehensive set of photos anyone has put out regarding the violence which occurred a few days ago in Cape Town.

Some of these are TvNews photos I grabbed, but many of the other photos actually come from people on my website who sent me these photos. Some of the photos were taken by readers of my website.

In fact, one reader wrote to me saying, that the initial news story, that only 3 cars had their windows smashed was complete hogwash because he had walked around and taken many more photos of shops and cars whose windows had been smashed.

So let’s take a look at the nonsense the Security Guards, our supposed protectors, got up to in their insane demands for a 13% salary increase, which is ridiculous.

This is one of the action shots. This man fell down in a panic as the Police were firing rubber bullets at this bunch of strikers.

Here you can see Police opening fire on them with tear gas and rubber bullets.

Police wearing bullet-proof vests firing on them.

A Police personnel vehicle following the strikers down the street.

There is glass on the ground outside this shop. I think they smashed its windows.

Some strikers and their leaders being arrested. Note the red communist-inspired COSATU t-Shirts.

Police firing away…

Tear gas is visible exploding around the protestors.

The protesters tried to set the car on fire. A small flame is visible on the top of the back seat of the car.

Smashed store window.

Smashed car

Police grabbing and arresting a striker.

The crowd of strikers.

They smashed a public phone.

This car’s windows were all smashed.

The passenger window on this car was smashed.

Police van…

Broken glass lies next to the car…

Damaged car window…

Broken store window.

Litter left by the strikers…

Another smashed store window.

Many shops were damaged. How nice, for one of our major tourist resorts. I wonder what foreigners then think of the country?

Broken glass next to a damaged car…

Here the strikers run wildly as the Police shoot back.

They fall down in heaps as the Police use rubber bullets to put them in their place and stop the carnage. They’re getting what they thoroughly deserve.

This woman seems quite badly hurt. I’m not sure if she was perhaps trampled when the crowd fled.

This man is bleeding.

One of the striking leaders in a Police van… sadly, he won’t be staying in jail for long.

Crowd panics and flees as Police come in close… people get trampled… well deserved though.

Look at how quickly they fled out of this street leaving their caps, etc behind!! They ran for cover at quite a pace. Again, well deserved.

Police busy sorting them out…

Another smashed shop…
