![The black and white photograph captures a moment of camaraderie among four individuals, likely during a protest or public demonstration. The person on the far left is wearing a knit hat with earflaps, an oversized coat, and has a camera around their neck; they are smiling broadly at someone off-camera.
In the center stands another individual who appears to be reading from a document held in both hands while laughing heartily. They wear a plaid jacket over a dark shirt, with a noticeable mustache on their face.
To the right of this central figure is one wearing what looks like construction or safety helmet and goggles atop their head; they are holding onto a microphone, suggesting they might be addressing a crowd or about to speak.
The fourth individual in view holds up another document. They wear a checkered coat with a high collar, also donning the hard hat for protection but without goggles on this occasion. Behind them is someone sitting down wearing what seems like winter clothing and possibly holding onto something that's not fully visible within the frame of our photograph.

![A black and white photo depicting a large gathering of young people, primarily males with some females interspersed. They are dressed in casual clothing typical of the 1970s including flannel shirts, jeans, hats, and boots which suggests this was likely during that era or is meant to represent it artistically.
The group appears diverse but predominantly youthful, perhaps college-aged individuals based on their attire and demeanor. Many have facial hair indicative of the hippie culture common in the 1960s through the late '70s. Several people are sitting while others stand behind them with expressions ranging from contemplative to animated conversation.
In the background is a sign that reads "LOKA" which could be part of an establishment's name or perhaps related to some aspect of the gathering, like event branding or assemblage for demonstration purposes.
The photograph carries historical significance potentially linked to activism and social protest movements. The caption provided indicates this image may relate to anti-Springbok tour demonstrations during apartheid-era South Africa when rugby matches involving Springbok were controversial due to their association with racial segregation in the country at that time, reflecting a political aspect of cultural expression as sport.

![The photograph captures a group of individuals standing outdoors during what appears to be a protest or public gathering. The people are dressed in various styles, including coats and hats suitable for outdoor weather conditions.
In the center is an older man wearing glasses and dark coat who seems attentive and possibly listening intently as he looks slightly off-camera. To his left stands a woman with long hair and a black jacket; she holds what appears to be a book or folder in her hands, perhaps related to their cause or agenda for this gathering.
Behind these two are other individuals of different ages and genders, including one person wearing a hard hat which suggests some level of labor involvement. The expressions on the faces range from serious contemplation to attentive observation. The photograph is black and white, enhancing its timeless quality as it captures a moment in collective memory during an anti-springbok tour demonstration.
The setting appears overcast with diffused light suggesting either early morning or late afternoon timing. There's no distinct signage or banners visible that would directly reveal the specific cause of their assembly; however, given historical context and internet search results for "anti Springbok," it is likely they were protesting against South Africa’s apartheid regime.

Antelopine #Antelopes: The Giraffe-Gazelles https://synapsida.blogspot.com/2024/07/antelopine-antelopes-giraffe-gazelles.html
"Despite appearances, true #gazelles are not the closest living relatives of the #springbok. That honour is probably tied between two other species, although there have yet to be sufficient genetic studies to absolutely nail that down - one could be closer than the other. They likely diverged from the springbok over 10 million years ago in the late #Miocene"
Did not go to the pub on Friday night just to watch the #AllBlacks eviscerate the poor #Pumas. They never had a real chance, did they?
Impressive display of skills and athletics by the ABs, and great to see them advance to the finals of these #RugbyWorlds.
As for tonight's game, could some #Springbok please drill #OwenFarrell deep into the pitch of the Stade de France? That would make my Saturday evening, really. Can't stand this master of unfair shoulder-to-face tackles and cheap shots.
@candycritic those look like #Springbok actually with the black and white stripes on the side. Impala is normally a more plain fawn colour.
@candycritic that's actually a #Springbok because of the white belly and dark brown stripe. Impala are generally a brown tan colour all over. The Impala is also a bit larger with longer horns than the Springbok.
