Demonstrators marched with Palestine flags, chanting ‘Gaza don’t you cry, Palestine will never die’, hoping to keep the heritage and existence of Palestinians alive.

Hundreds of Capetonians took to the streets on Saturday to show their unwavering support to Palestinians who are living in war zones. Demonstrators marched with Palestine flags, chanting “Gaza don’t you cry, Palestine will never die”, hoping to keep the heritage and existence of Palestinians alive.  

The march took place from the Muir Street masjid in District Six to the provincial legislature on Wale Street in the CBD.

A supporter and Al-Quds marshal at the march, Muthafier Newman, said it was encouraging to see Capetonians take time out of their day to support the cause.

“We are just having a march to show that we are supporting them and that we are here for them, and that they’re always in our hearts. Most of them are Muslim, Alhamdulillah, and in Islam we believe that many Muslims are our brothers and sisters.”
