Cape Times
|June 17, 2025
SOUTH Africans taking part in the Global March to Gaza (GMTG) have recounted stories of intimidation including detention, and roadblocks by Egyptian authorities in their quest to highlight the plight of Palestinians.
Some of them started arriving yesterday with others expected today.
The GMTG, a global solidarity movement where on Friday, thousands of citizens from over 50 countries mobilised in a peaceful, civic-led demonstration to “demand justice, humanity, and an end to the ongoing genocide in Gaza”.
However, several South African delegates were among those who claimed they were intimidated and had their passports confiscated by Egyptian authorities at various checkpoints during their journey.
In a social media post over the week-end, former member of Parliament, and Nelson Mandela’s grandson, Mandla Mandela, who was among the SA delegation in attendance, explained that they were not allowed to proceed and were held for over six hours.
