South African journalists gathered in Cape Town to protest the killing of over 190 media workers in Gaza since October 2023. They stood together to defend press freedom and demand justice for those targeted simply for reporting the truth. Drawing on South Africa’s history of fighting oppression, the protest called out unethical media practices and showed deep solidarity with Palestinian journalists facing violence. Their voices rose by the sea, a powerful reminder that telling the truth is never a crime, even in the darkest times.
