Mobbed at the 'peaceful' strike

When we entered the grounds to get a fresh pictures of the strikers little did we know that we were about to become victims of physical and verbal abuse from the union members especially since Mmegi newspaper had been covering the strike since the first day without any problems.

Personally I had never been to the strike venue but I did not think that anyone would become violent as the word peaceful had been stressed from the word go. From what I saw and heard on Wednesday morning there is nothing peaceful about the current strike over pay because if it had not been for the few people who helped us escape we would have been seriously hurt or worse.
