DM2001022704:SAED:POLITICS:OCT1960 - Five Months Nightmare - Sharpeville massacre - how it began. Outside Sharpeville police Station. A curious crowd. Police opened fire. Everyone flees. Some smiling thinking blanks are being used. After the people's protest; after the Sharepville killings; after 20 000 people had been detained; the government closed another in our countries history. There was to be no change. Apartheid and baaskap was here to stay. (Photograph by Ian Berry © Baileys Archives)
