The Palestine Solidarity Campaign PSC, alongside its partners, announced that they will be marching to Parliament on Saturday, October 5 in Cape Town.
The march is for the South African government to implement the Apartheid Bill and sanction Israel.
The organisation said it is calling on South Africa to fully implement in legislation the United Nations UN International Convention on the Suppression and Punishment of the Crime of Apartheid Apartheid Convention.
While South Africa ratified the Apartheid Convention in May 2024, the next crucial step is passing legislation to ensure compliance with its international obligations, a necessary action that would demonstrate South Africas commitment to justice and human rights.
Commemorating a year of escalated genocide since October 2023, Israeli forces have killed more than 41,000 Palestinians in Gaza which includes close to 16,500 children by bullets, bombs, beating, or having them die beneath the rubble. Experts estimate that up to 186,000 could be attributable to the current war in Gaza. Israel has also destroyed critical infrastructure in Gaza, leading to widespread hunger and denial of medical treatment, the PSC said.
