Hamas has re-entered areas vacated by Israeli forces in Gaza, reportedly detaining and executing individuals accused of collaborating with Israel or opposing the group.

@Moneyweb You should maybe interview some of the suppliers they have failed to pay for stock and have used liquidation as a excuse.

Statement on today’s disruption of a lawful protest:

Cape Town’s commitment to tolerance and freedom of expression is sacrosanct

[Sihle Ngobese @BigDaddyLiberty]

This exchange PERFECTLY captures why what the “pro-palestine” lobby did today in Sea Point (Cape Town) is WRONG!

And they know they were wrong, this lady admits as much.

Be careful of folks who demand #FreeSpeech for themselves, but intimidate, prevent & mob others who try exercise that same right.

Especially when that same mob waves the flags of radical jihadi terrorist organisations (#ISIS, #Hezbollah, #Hamas etc) at South Africans!

A statement from Mayor @geordinhl. Say what you like but this man has been doing a fantastic job.

CITY OF CAPE TOWN

12 NOVEMBER 2023

MEDIA RELEASE

STATEMENT BY CAPE TOWN MAYOR, GEORDIN HILL-LEWIS

*Cape Town's commitment to tolerance and freedom of expression is sacrosanct*

In a time of great global dispute and conflict, Cape Town has thus far been an example of tolerance. While we have seen violent protests all over the world in recent weeks, protests here have been an example of peacefulness, with very few exceptions. As Mayor, I have been proud of our city. We have shown restraint, maturity and a commitment to the rights of all residents to express themselves.

I specifically wish to commend the conduct of both those who agree and disagree with yesterday’s pro-Palestinian protest for their peaceful conduct.

Unfortunately, we saw violent disruptions today against a planned peaceful prayer gathering in support of Israel. This violence deserves the condemnation of all Capetonians who value free expression in our open democracy.

While residents or groups may disagree vehemently with one another, they may not engage in violent disruption. We call on all residents to desist from doing so.

Every person or group, of every belief and persuasion, has the right to protest peacefully in South Africa.

That right is Constitutionally protected, and for good reason, because in South Africa’s past certain protests were banned or violently suppressed, and opinions censored.

In the same way that tens of thousands of residents gathered yesterday to protest peacefully, so the planned protest today should have been respected and allowed to proceed peacefully and without interference.

It is the job of the South African Police and law enforcement agencies to protect that right, and the responsibility of every citizen to respect it.

Public Order policing is under the authority of the South African Police Service and they are in command when public disorder incidents take place. The SAPS inform us that two firearms were seized and 7 people have been arrested.

We also condemn any hate speech uttered by radical minorities at protests, especially when that hate speech is directed towards little children. We have received video footage of a representative purportedly of the PAC speaking at yesterday’s protest and calling young Jewish children in Cape Town “murderers". Such hateful language should similarly be condemned by all. Radical elements do not speak for Capetonians, and do not even speak for the protestors they claim to represent.

Cape Town is a city of diversity, inclusion and tolerance. Let us model those values, and not be diverted by those peddling hate.

*END*

[Amanda Viljoen @amanda__viljoen]

No one bothered or intimidated the pro Palestine supporters who marched through the @CityofCT yesterday! And yet today in Sea Point a Christian rally in solidarity with Israel has been violently disrupted and @SAPoliceService ordered it be called off! Free speech? Democracy?

[David @dachait]

@amanda__viljoen @CityofCT @SAPoliceService And that’s exactly it - simple!

[David @dachait]

@VoxTalk2Us Can you please update on when this will be fixed?
