South Africans Support Miss SA's Travel to Israel
(News 24-South Africa) Wendy Kahn - Every propagandist tactic is being used against Miss South Africa, Lalela Mswane, including death threats. This public intimidation and mistreatment of a young woman is abusive and criminal behavior. Seemingly, when the country of discussion is Israel, there are no limits to how badly one can behave. A poll conducted by Newzroom Afrika on Nov. 18 on whether Miss SA should withdraw from the Miss Universe event in Israel showed nearly 2:1 in favor of her competing. Another poll from SABC came out with similar results. It has been made clear in recent weeks that the BDS movement and our own Minister of Sports, Arts and Culture do not speak for the average South African. The writer is the National Director of the South African Jewish Board of Deputies.
