STREET JUSTICE: ON FISHMARKET STREET, DURBAN, S.A.

This photograph should be viewed after the previous one. In it, this same fellow is trying to excape the grasp of "citizens" who have decided to administer "street justice" to him because he was caught stealing something from a street vendor. Poor chap. You can see the terror in his eyes--he knows what's coming. Actually, he might not have known what was really coming: a guy approached him from behind and gave him three whacks with a club. It was one of those thick, wooden sticks with a large, twisted thob on the end. The thief didn't stand a chance. Blood was all over the place and I decided not to take his picture as he crawled away...to a citizen chorus of name-calling/laughs.
