South African women demonstrate topless

Love it.

An expression of disbelief was clearly visible on the face of Health Minister Manto Tshabalala-Msimang when about 15 women decided to keep abreast of things and celebrate Women’s Day in Pretoria topless.
The women, who work for a cleaning and laundry business in Rosslyn that does work for, among others, state hospitals, sent their tops flying in protest against sexual harassment at their place of work and their conditions of service.
This was shortly before Gauteng Premier Mbhazima Shilowa was to deliver his address in front of about 10,000 people, most of them women, at the Union Buildings.
Leader of the group, Violet Mmut of Masakhane Laundry and Cookfreeze Services, took off her top where she was standing right in front of the stage. About 14 other women followed her example.

Good for them–shame those motherfuckers!
