ANC provincial head of international relations Fish Mahlalela will deliver a lecture on the struggle of the Palestinian people.

The lecture will be at the eMalahleni Civic Theatre on 21 March 2017.

Palestinian territories have been occupied by Israel since the war of 1967. It has led to deadly struggles since the people of Palestine are against the occupation of their land and Israelites have continuously defied world opinions and the United Nations, saying the land is the one being mentioned in the bible.

Representative of the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS)movement in the Mpumalanga province, Ntinyiko Ntini, said leaders of the ANC,Cosatu, SACP, YCL, BDS-SA and Friends of Palestine “will convene a lecture as part of pledging solidarity with the people of Palestine”.

“The lecture convenes when millions of South Africans commemorate Human Rights Day, however it is difficult to celebrate and commemorate this day whilst Palestinians are subjected to military torture and occupation from the apartheid Israeli state,” said Ntini.

“The lecture will receive messages of solidarity from Progressive Youth Alliance components, alliance partners, BDS and Friends of Palestine,” he said.

Mahlalela, who is also a member of Parliament, is the province’s ANC provincial executive member.
