Description: The Muslim leader, Moulana Faried Essack, tries to stop police from removing an African National Congress (ANC) flag draped over the coffin of slain ANC member, Ashley Kriel, in Langa township, Cape Town, July 1987. Symbols of the ANC, though illegal, were visible at funerals, an insistent reminder of the political meaning of the deaths.
