Calls for a
ceasefire, an end to apartheid and the war in Gaza will reverberate across the

part of a global day of action for Palestine.
South African Jews for a Free Palestine (SAJFP) and the Palestinian Solidarity Campaign will lead the demonstrations in Johannesburg and Cape Town on Saturday in collaboration with Equal Education and the Gift of the Givers Foundation.
