The claws are out within South Africas Government of National Unity (GNU) over Israels participation in the Olympics.
Deputy Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture, Peace Mabe has come out against the states involvement at the renowned sports tournament taking place in Paris.
The Department of Sports, Arts and Culture condemns the participation of the genocidal state of Israel in the Paris 2024 Olympics as it seriously undermines the principles of Olympism, said the department in a statement.
These principles include: Universality and solidarity, Unity in diversity, Autonomy and Good Government and Sustainability according to Mabe.
However, Sports Minister Gayton McKenzie fired back at the statement, accusing Mabe of pushing politics instead of showing support for SAs athletes.
