A group of young protesters took their ideological fight from Johannesburg to what they believe is the 'heart of Afrikanerdom', the wine lands town of Stellenbosch
There, they expected to meet head on their ideological enemy, “the whites, the settlers”. They carried a Black Power flag.
“Our demands are clear, we want our land, we want reparations, we want the return of the ex-miners. The ex-miners have been robbed forever in this country. They didn't get anything. We want our land, the time is now,” said one of the protest leaders, Zethu Mdudo. The protesters carry a Black Power flag and several makeshift weapons, likely only for show. The group is small and it doesn't appear to have much support from local Kayamandi residents. Leadership in the township have distanced themself from the protest.
