Cape Town Israeli Apartheid Week

IAW South Africa: 50 Years Since Sharpeville, 1 Year Since Gaza

As South Africans who took strength from the international campaign against Apartheid we persist in condemning Israel's actions by declaring "Apartheid for one is apartheid for all!". As students of post-Apartheid South Africa, and as beneficiaries of a liberation struggle against racism, sexism and exploitation, we stand with all those still engaged in struggle to liberate themselves from racism, apartheid and injustice. For these reasons, South African organisations form part of the international campaign to pressurise the state of Israel with boycotts, divestment and sanctions.
