Description: Thousands of township residents, like this family, last night turned off their lights and held a candlelight vigil in front of their homes, shops and garages in sympathy with all those in detention, those killed during the unrest and as a protest against the state of emergency. Some people had candles inside their cars and hooted as they drove. A spokesman for the Athlone People's Action Committee said last night that the call for the vigil had been 90 to 100 percent successful.

Subject: Western Cape (South Africa), Cape Town (South Africa), Civil unrest, Demonstrations, National Union of South African students
Description: Two student demos: University of Cape Town students held a demonstration alongside Rhodes Drive yesterday afternoon, in which about 60 people held placards numbering from 0 to 100, and a banner stating the number of days still remaining in the bannings of the Nusas leaders. This demonstration - and one earlier yesterday on Thibault Square, Cape Town, in which eight students took part - were to mark the 100th day since the banning of the Nusas leaders and the presence of police on the university campus on June 7 last year. Public reaction to the demonstrations varied. In the square the demonstrators - who had received permission from the Executive Committee of the City Council and the Chief Magistrate, to stage their stand - were, on the whole, largely ignored. On Rhodes Drive some motorists expressed their approval by hooting, cheering and waving; other motorists booed and made signs of disapproval.
