Protesters clash with stall holders during a demonstration against a lack of housing in central Cape Town, South Africa, yesterday. Hundreds of protesters looted shops, overturned rubbish bins and smashed car windows as police struggled to contain a mob rampaging through the heart of the top tourist city. Riot police in full body armour cordoned off roads in the city centre, where a large crowd, many wearing ruling ANC regalia, were protesting against a lack of state housing in the only metropolis governed by the official opposition.
