Your front page photograph "Product placement" (yesterday) creates the inaccurate impression that only 20 people took part in the Million Mask March organised by online activist group Anonymous.

Though only a few people took part in the protest here in South Africa, the presence of Anonymous was strongly felt overseas in countries from South America to Southeast Asia.

To state that "fewer than 20 people took place in the protest against corruption" greatly skews the perceptions of the success of the protest to people unfamiliar with it.

Anonymous is a global organisation with members in nearly every country in the world, comprising men and women who are tired of seeing greed and injustice and intolerance flourish.

The march itself was not an end goal but a means to a beginning. Anonymous can only grow stronger. Expect us.
