1981 the day of the springbok game in Hamilton. There was Grey clouds heavy winds with a crowd of thousands. I stood with my mother outside the Hamilton game waiting for us to protest for us to stand for the rights of the black people in South Africa.
Seeing the others with all the signs banners and poster were amazing, there was so many of us sticking up for the rights they deserved.Feeling nervous scared and anxious all at the same time was awkward.
Running out to the field with cans coming from all directions we stood there willing to protest even with can coming from all directions. Course language Foul Sayings with put downs that werent very nice
The crowd of protesters weren't just protesting for anything. We were protesting for south Africans as they couldn't vote over there. There was also the reason to put pressure on the South African government to stop apartheid.
