Abstract
In October 1987, Sally Hutchings threw two overripe tomatoes at the then State President P W Botha at a university reception in Pretoria in protest against the increasing encroachment of the National Party government on university autonomy. The projectiles missed him, landing at his feet. Within hours Hutchings, a statistics lecturer at UNISA, was deported to her native England with her 18-month-old baby.
