A protester holds up a placard during a protest against police violence, at the gates of the South African Parliament in Cape Town, on June 3, 2020. This protest is in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement in the United States of America , and around the world following the death of George Floyd in police custody in Minneapolis.

In South Africa, 26 years of democracy have not yet ensured that black lives matter as much as white ones, the Nelson Mandela Foundation said on Thursday. “We need to reckon with the fact that structural and other forms of violence will provoke violence. And we must face the reality that the ravages of Covid-19 will further entrench structural violence unless we fundamentally restructure our societies. It is time to apply our minds to this challenge. Black lives do matter.”

The foundation said protests in response to the deaths of black people at the hands of the police or military, like George Floyd in the US, Collins Khosa back home and Adama Traore in France “speak to a growing rage across the globe at continued white supremacy and the use of state violence to support it”.
