On a distinctively bright afternoon at Three Anchor Bay, a sea of Pro-Palestine advocates gathered on the Sea Point Promenade. Their vocal unity, calling for an immediate and ongoing halt to the conflict in Gaza, was a clear depiction of the worldwide protest against the continuing strife. Their congregational symbolism echoed the principles of the Global Day of Action for Palestine rally, an effort steered by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC).
This universal appeal for intervention came after the critical juncture that saw South Africa sending its top legal team to provide evidence of genocide committed by Israel. The evidence was delivered during a two-day public hearing at the International Court of Justice (ICJ). The Promenade came alive with the rhythmic flutter of Palestinian flags and banners, their messages echoing in the sea breeze, ‘Gaza, Gaza don’t you cry, Palestine will never die!’ and ‘We are all Palestinians’. The chants reverberated, serving as a tribute to the indomitable spirit of the Palestinian people.
The rally was graced by notable personalities from various backgrounds. Among them were Dr. Imtiaz Sooliman of the Gift of the Givers, anti-apartheid veteran Dr. Allan Boesak, and Noncedo Madubedube, the general secretary of Equal Education. Dr. Koni Benson, a historian and an influential member of the South African Jews for a Free Palestine (SAJFP), also addressed the crowd. Their speeches, imbued with a sense of urgency and solidarity, mirrored the overall sentiment of the protest.
The demonstration in Cape Town painted a picture of worldwide unity in support of Palestine. Supporters from distant regions, including the Atlantic Seaboard, Yemen, and the United States, voiced their solidarity through social media. The sincere communal spirit was reflected in the peaceful nature of the event, a testimony to the shared objective that united the crowd.

Symbolizing Palestinian resistance, watermelons were handed out to supporters, serving as a reminder of the Palestinian people’s resolve in their quest for peace.
