Today we saw violent protesters along the Cape Town beachfront, designed to threaten Christians in this country. Christian people have the same rights as any South African, to freedom of expression – these rights were taken away by the pro-Hamas supporters. The violence in the Middle East has been brought to Cape Town by these Hamas supporters who think it is their right to threaten and harass Jews and Christians in this country.

 

Does our government, the ANC and DIRCO condone these infringements on South African rights? Do they condone these violent protests? It is a sad day for South African democracy.
