'Alien' Bush and ANC attacked in Cape protest

[dArKeR]

About 1 500 people braved a cool winter's day in Cape Town on Wednesday to march to Parliament and the US Consulate to voice not only opposition to George Bush's visit to South Africa but also to ANC policies.

The large crowd spontaneously started a bonfire close to the main entrance of Parliament, feeding the fire with posters bearing Bush's face.

1. Hippies, Muslims and Yanks march against Bush

What seemed to be an odd assortment of people joined forces in Pretoria on Wednesday to express strong opposition to the United States President George Bush's visit to South Africa.

About a thousand people gathered under the banner of the Anti-War Coalition to march on the US embassy around lunchtime.

Hippies, men and women in traditional Muslim dress, militant toyi-toying youngsters and even some Americans turned up for the event.

"Go away, we've got enough Bushes in Africa," read a poster held up by one middle-aged man.

The group chanted "Who let the bombs drop - Bush, Blair, Sharon", to the tune of the pop song Who Let The Dogs Out.

3. South Africans recognize evil when they see it!

I wonder where they got the W posters - you don't think Unca Karl had them distributed, non?

5. It's tough to spoil the Fairest Cape

but a visit by shrub could do it. At least the southeaster will freshen the stench he leaves in his wake.
