“This is not just a game for us; it is a show of love to say to you, the people of South Africa understand what you are going through,” expressed Mafu. “The people of South Africa understand the pain; we’ve been through this, and we want you to remember you will be free. Palestine will be free, it might take a long time, but you will definitely be free.”

The event underscored South Africa’s ongoing support for Palestine, particularly amidst the backdrop of the Israeli military campaign in the Gaza Strip. According to health authorities in the region, at least 28,775 Palestinians have lost their lives since October 7, highlighting the ongoing humanitarian crisis.
