Dr. Van Rensburg, previously addressed a meeting. Loyalist organisations after the meeting appealed to the Government to ban the Ossewabrandwag. and the clash then occurred, the soldiers, it is alleged, using their strap buckles. The 8.8. C. reports that order was restored after the police hud been reinforced. Rioting was confined to the centre of Johannesburg, where bricks were thrown through the windows of the offices of two newspapers, one of them General Hertzog's. Some of the soldiers resented being ordered by policemen not wearing an orange badge. This badge implies that the wearer has volunteered for service in any part of Africa.
