She said the boycotts of sporting events, beauty pageants and similar events by the world in response to apartheid South Africa had been successful. As a result, she said South Africa was banned from participating in the Miss World pageants from 1978 to 1990.In respect of the Miss Universe in Israel, she said Miss Greece, Miss Barbados, Miss Morocco, Miss Laos, Miss Malaysia and Miss Indonesia had all withdrawn from the pageant.
She said government’s stance on Mswane was “certainly one which has been adopted previously in respect of the challenge against apartheid and against human rights abuses by South Africa and the international community at large”.
“In fact, it seems that Miss SA and the pageant’s rights holders seem to have no regard whatsoever for the plight of the Palestinian people, which includes the complete disregard of the rights of women and children,” Moncho argued.Moncho said Israel established a legation in South Africa in 1952 and in 1974 this was upgraded to an embassy. In 1972, South Africa established a consulate general in Tel Aviv which was upgraded to an embassy in December 1975.
“Accordingly, full diplomatic relations with Palestine were established. Government downgraded its embassy in Tel Aviv to a liaison office in 2019. This is clearly in line with its stance to support the Palestinian people. Government has never recognised Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. “There is currently limited political and diplomatic interaction between South Africa and Israel, mainly due to Israel’s antagonistic attitude towards the Middle East peace process and disregard for international law regard the rights of the Palestinians and their territories,” Moncho argued in part.
Useless government

SA Failed State Govt trying to take on God's Land and people. Once she's seen the paradise it is she will be shocked. Educated Muslim nations are too clever and are friends with Israel while the hobo Muslims scratch the bottom of the barrel with the likes of the SA Failed Govt !
Government lost half the elections....they need to stop with fairy tales and clean the house...they have won nothing!
My princess
wind tunnel shows must fall !
She’s in Israel, and she’s competing. That’s all that matters. The ANC Government does not hold 50% + support anymore. They do not represent citizens in this victory, only themselves.
Citizens For Integrity were being too forward, bazishaya phambili oku komsuzo wasekuseni. They must go to Israel, and support Lalela ongalaleli. Why are they forcing our government to support a naive girl who has no idea what's her purpose as MissSA.
This Shoprite Cashier must come back home here in Ixope
Let it keep standing. It will soon fall like others before it. SA government is govern by outside governments, nothing is new there.We the people, support our queen and salute her bravery
Stupid ANC Government. I cannot wait for 2024 where we will not have ANC Government anymore
What does one expect from a government that has Gwede Mantashe in it?
Cyril Ramaphosa is an amateur in politics..you can issue a statement condemning Israel behavior on Palestine but let MissUniverse continue...imagine America withdrawing the support of it Olympic team in China.Biden didn't honor the event but the US Olympic supported competing.
Go make us proud Official_MissSA Lalela_lali , plz use this opportunity to speak your truth, & implore both nations for a ceasefire. And bring title home too.
