Students Protest

University students demonstrated against apartheid outside the Sydney Cricket Ground where South Africa was playing Australia in the fifth test.

More than 30 students gathered outside the entrance to the cricket ground parking area waving placards and handing out leaflets to spectators as they left their cars.

The placards carried anti-apartheid slogans such as "Nazism still in South Africa" and "cricket yes—apartheid no."

Police escorted the students to the opposite side of the road to the cricket ground gates.

A spokesman for the students said the demonstration was directed against South African apartheid policy and not the cricketers personally.
