Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis has urged Capetonians to model the values of diversity, inclusion and tolerance, after police used stun grenades and tear gas in response to angry clashes between Palestinian and Israeli supporters on the Sea Point Promenade on Sunday.

Sunday's clashes in Sea Point followed a peaceful pro-Palestinian march by tens of thousands of people through the heart of Cape Town on Saturday.

Tensions boiled over on Sunday, though, when a planned pro-Israeli event was disrupted by pro-Palestinian protesters.
