Thousands of people have come out in Cape Town to demonstrate against the ongoing genocide in Gaza. Cape Town has been the site of many protests in recent months, but this is one of the largest and people here remain resolute. They want an end to Israel’s genocide. They want an end to the occupation. In 2023, South Africa’s parliament voted to close the Israeli embassy. It also voted to end diplomatic ties with Israel. But that hasn’t happened and people here are now marching to parliament, demanding that South Africa sever all diplomatic and economic ties with Israel.
