The caption for this photograph reads as follows:
“A Duduza township resident lies dead while members of a special police squad take a smoke break after an all night “cleanup,” Transvaal, July 1985. Photographs such as this led to the government emergency regulations making it an offence to photograph police in “an unrest area or situation.” The police have shot hundreds, and township residents cannot easily distinguish between national servicemen and covert death squads. The death squads usually wear woollen, hooded face covers, or masks, called “balaclavas,” making it impossible to identify the killers. In this photograph, the man with his back turned still has his balaclava down.”
