DA Protesters

I took this photo recently of the Democratic Alliance Student Organisation (DASO). They contrast starkly with other such movements. Their placards are neatly printed, while others are hand written. They wear standard issue T-shirts, while others wear anything. DASO's slogans are tame: "Increase funding for poor students," while others have: "Fees must fall!" Outside parliament recently, a riot policeman joked: "That's the first time I heard the DA chant, Power to the people." Suddenly another group of students appeared in the distance. A riot policeman shouted: "Shields up!" and the DA protesters vanished.
