Justice for Marikana vigil
South Africa House, London. Wed 16 Aug 2017
The protesters lined up facing South Africa House
and were holding photographs of the miners who were killed at Marikana
A security man comes out of the South African embassy to complain
and tells the protesters they must take the posters off the wall
but the protesters say they have always put them there at protests
and leave them.
After around 15 minutes two police officers arrive and persuade the
protesters it would be better to stand in front
of the wall around the High Commission in any case, and they move
