ANC secretary-general, Fikile Mbalula, told journalists during a post-national executive committee meeting that no one in this country should ask the ANC to abandon the Palestinian people.
JOHANNESBURG - The African National Congress says that when the dust settles, it will be on the right side of history as it prepares to picket at Israel’s embassy in solidarity with the people of Palestine on Friday.
Renewed violent tensions triggered by Hamas earlier this month have left hundreds dead, with a Gaza hospital treating Palestinians being struck this week. "We’ve got a democracy today that is flourishing, we’ve got everything in this country, because somebody somewhere had to stand at the United Nations to say no apartheid, apartheid is an evil. What is happening today in Palestine is evil and the ANC will be in the trenches and will be on the side of the Palestinian people."
