March 1962 The Shooting At Highfields The Crowd sits

March 1962 The Shooting At Highfields The Crowd sits peacefully at a ZAPU meeting listening to the various speakers. Then came the arrest which sparked off the shooting there. It happened at a ZAPU meeting outside Cyril Jennings Hall, Highfields. A police constable climbed onto the platform and seized Cladius Danha by the hand, I am taking you away you are arrested, he told him. It led to the shooting of six Africans some of them wounded seriously. The police say they fired in self defence. (Photograph by Drum Photographer @ BAHA)
