ANC SUPPORTING GENOCIDE - MALEMA

Is South Africa’s ruling ANC party serious about supporting Palestine? If so, why has it not shut the Israeli embassy in Pretoria, as promised?

Julius Malema, the leader of pan-African EFF party, asked the question during a recent TV interview. And he has a point. Parliament voted to close down the mission in November last year, but President Cyril Ramaphosa’s administration still hasn’t followed through on the wishes of lawmakers.

Admittedly, South Africa’s government took the bold step of taking Israel to the UN’s top court over genocide claims, but why is it not severing ties with Tel Aviv completely?

Malema claims voting for the ANC is the same as backing Israel’s destruction of Gaza. Is he going too far?
