Anti-Israel protesters gather outside the offices of Glencore Coal in Sandton, Johannesburg, to demand that the company end its economic relations with Israel amid the war in Gaza.
People at the rally, organized by a coalition of pro-Palestinian and climate groups, hold signs reading “Unplug apartheid Israel” and “No to fuelling Israel’s war machine.”
South Africa cut off relations with Israel after Hamas’s October 7 terror onslaught triggered the ongoing war in Gaza.
In March, the country’s foreign minister, Naledi Pandor, said South African citizens serving in the IDF would be arrested upon returning to the country.
In December, South Africa filed a case against Israel in the International Court of Justice, claiming that Israel is committing genocide in the Gaza Strip. The ICJ has ordered Israel to take actions necessary to prevent violations of the 1948 Genocide Convention but did not order Israel to its offensive in Gaza.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
