Sharpeville Protests 2010
Photo Journalist Greg Marinovich on the recent Sharpeville 'Service Delivery' protests.
"To me it was tough to tell the difference between Apartheid policing in the Eighties and Nineties and what I saw in Sharpeville last week."What is more disturbing is how the most of the mainstream media reported the story.
"What I find particularly odd is that publications who had journalists on the scene quote police spokespersons about a policeman and a bus passenger injured by stone-throwing protesters yet do not mention the people shot and wounded by police in what appeared to me to be excessive use of their mandate. Their photographers documented some of these incidents. Bizarre."
