| Description: |
This newspaper clipping titled "Down the wire for delivery: Orange Farm demo turns ugly as protesters clash with police" appeared in The Star in September 2006. The picture accompanying the article is arguably one of the most emotive symbols of post-apartheid community protest over a lack of basic services. Attempting to flee the indiscriminate firing of rubber bullets by police, this unidentified Orange Farm resident screams in pain after being caught up in razor wire that the police had erected next to the Golden Highway, which residents, under the organisation of the Anti-Privatisation Forum (APF) affiliate in the area, blocked. This particular protest - using the tactic of blockading a main road in order to draw attention - went on for several days, with numerous residents being shot and injured.
