actor1: Rioters (South Africa)
actor2: Police Forces of South Africa (1994-)
notes: Police open fire on a group of EFF protesters situated outside the Union Buildings. It is unclear what the EFF was specifically protesting at the time of the shooting. Several other members of the EFF were arrested following retaliatory clashes. Ten injured. The clash took place along the R55 linking Pretoria and Sandton after their buses were blocked from leaving the informal settlement. The police later released a statement saying the march was illegal because no permission had been granted in advance, denying clashes were politically driven. It is unclear why the group was protesting, though the party typically calls for a repatriation of white owned land.
