MP Nkosi Zwelivelile Mandla Mandela called on Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng to retract his statements expressing his apparent support for “apartheid Israel”.
Pretoria - Member of Parliament and the grandson of former president Nelson Mandela, Nkosi Zwelivelile Mandla Mandela, chief of the Mvezo Traditional Council, on Friday called on Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng to retract his statements expressing his apparent support for “apartheid Israel”.
Mogoeng was this week on a line-up of the Jerusalem Post’s “exclusive webinar” which also featured South African Chief Rabbi Warren Goldstein and was moderated by the Jerusalem Post’s editor-in-chief, Yaakov Katz. Nkosi Zwelivelile said the statements attributed to the chief justice are also ill-timed as Israel with the support of President Donald Trump is moving to "annex the West Bank and wipe what remains of historic Palestine from the map".
“We reiterate our call for him to retract these statements as unbecoming of any South African ourselves erstwhile beneficiaries of international support in our struggle against apartheid.
The party's national spokesperson Pule Mabe said the former liberation movement was “deeply concerned” by the remarks. Mabe said the ANC has consistently expressed courageously through its successive resolutions that the contemporary State of Israel is an "apartheid state".
