JOHANNESBURG - President Cyril Ramaphosa has called for the immediate release of South Africans arrested or abducted by Israeli forces in international waters.
The grandson of Nelson Mandela, Nkosi Zwelivelile Mandela, as well as Zukiswa Wanner, Reaaz Moolla and Dr Fatima Hendricks, were on boats forming part of the Global Sumud Flotilla.
The boats carrying hundreds of people from 45 countries were planning to deliver aid to the Gaza Strip and highlight the war.
There have been protests in several European and other countries in response to Israel’s announcement that it will deport dozens of pro-Palestinian activists, including Greta Thunberg.
Save Our Sacred Lands is part of this mission.
Dr Imtiaz Suliman from Gift of the Givers and Tauriq Jenkins from Save our Sacred Lands discussed the flotilla's efforts with eNCA.
