This is the most ignorant, uniformed and disgusting take I’ve ever seen from a fellow South African. Nearly every single person who has experienced South African apartheid agrees that what Palestine is experiencing is apartheid. Gazans are trapped in a tiny, overcrowded piece of land and are not allowed to leave except through an ass long process. In South Africa, black people were relegated to overcrowded, underdeveloped townships and were not allowed to leave it without using something called a dompass. If they didn’t, they would be subject to police and military brutality just like what happens in Gaza and the West Bank.

93% of all land in Israel is public and therefore belongs to either the state, the JNF or the the development authority. As a result Palestinians are blocked from leasing 80% of all land in Israel. During South African apartheid, black people were not allowed to buy or lease land in a plethora of areas.

Israel has a ban on family unification. This means that if one spouse is Israeli and the other is a Palestinian from the occupied territories, family unification is not allowed. Similarly, mixed race marriages and families were forbidden under apartheid.

These are just some similarities. From anon’s language it seems as though they are white as they made the ridiculous statement of considering the experiences of white people (THE ASSAILANTS) during an era they brought about and flourished in. “I don’t know a lot about apartheid”- then maybe you should shut your fucking mouth and stick to topics you do know.

Comparing tragedies in order to minimise or demean what happened is despicable, but comparing similarities is necessary or no one will ever learn anything from the mistakes of the past. 99% of all South Africans will be appalled at your statement that comparing the two situations is minimising the experiences of South Africans under the apartheid regime. Every single freedom fighter of ours like Nelson Mandela, Winnie Mandela, Walter Sisulu, OR Tambo, Ahmed Kathrada have all condemned Israeli apartheid. Palestinian resistance groups armed the MK (the armed wing of the ANC in case you didn’t learn that in school 🤡). Your argument is like saying comparing the Rwandan genocide to the Armenian genocide is minimising the suffering of the Rwandans. Get a fucking grip. You are a disgrace to our country, our history and our forefathers who fought for our freedom and rights. You are no true South African and I’m 100% certain that PW Botha would’ve LOVED you. Educate yourself before running your mouth like a fool.

I’ve been thinking about this for some time now and I was hesitant to post about it because I don’t want my voice muddying actual protests and testaments from people actually affected because I am not Jewish or Palestinian. And I don’t know if this is the right medium for this remark but I didn’t know where else to put it.

But as someone from South Africa, who grew up listening to first hand accounts of people, black and white, who lived through Apartheid, as someone who had to learn the horrific history of Apartheid and how sick and twisted that regime was. And even then I cannot claim to be an expert because even my school didn’t teach us every detail (which is sad because while it’s painful, it’s part of history and we must learn about it to never repeat it).

But knowing what I do know about Apartheid and seeing the after effects of it where I live… it really disturbs me to see the word Apartheid thrown around so carelessly to describe Israel. It’s not only untrue but trying to apply to Israel what the white minority government did in South Africa to harm and have power over people of colour in every aspect of life, feels like it only does a massive disservice to actual Apartheid victims. Real people were killed and tortured and suppressed in terms of marriage, to where they could live, who they could love, what they could learn in schools, having the right to vote, having curfews and time restrictions or else risk persecution and brutality…. It just leaves me speechless that people so easily want to wash away the real tragedy of Apartheid because it’s a big sounding buzzword. Calling Israel an Apartheid state, in my mind, does nothing except invalidate the real victims of that horrific regime and it makes me sick.

I’m sorry for ranting like that but I just cannot wrap my head around it at all. It shouldn’t take a rocket scientist to see that the Apartheid regime and Israel’s government are in no way the same.

This is an extremely important perspective, and it would be a great help if you would be willing to share it openly.

There have been many voices from South Africa rejecting the "apartheid" comparison. It is important to show would-be activists that they are appropriating and disrespecting other peoples' suffering.

Remembering Ahmed Kathrada, South African anti-apartheid leader

By Abayomi Azikiwe

Funeral services were held March 29 for Ahmed Mohamed “Kathy” Kathrada, a longtime member of the South African Communist Party and the African National Congress.  He died at the age of 87 after undergoing neurosurgery. Hundreds of family members and friends attended his memorial and paid tribute to the veteran of the decades-long national liberation struggle that brought the ANC to power in 1994.

Although under banning orders for political activities, Kathrada was heavily involved in the formation and early operations of the ANC-SACP military wing Umkhonto we Sizwe (MK). In July 1963, after going underground, Kathrada and other other MK leaders were arrested at the Lilliesleaf Farm in Rivonia during a law-enforcement raid. Mandela had been arrested the year before with the CIA’s assistance and charged with leaving the country illegally. Mandela had traveled from 1961 to 1962 to Ethiopia and Morocco to receive military training. He was caught at a roadblock while posing as a driver for a white family.

In 1964, Kathrada along with Nelson Mandela, Walter Sisulu, Govan Mbeki, Dennis Goldberg, Raymond Mhlaba, Elias Motsoaledi and Andrew Mlangeni were tried for treason and found guilty in an apartheid court. Although they faced the death penalty, this racist court sentenced the ANC-SACP leaders to life in prison without parole and hard labor. Mandela, the last to be released, served over 27 years in prison at Robben Island, Pollsmoor and a  Western Cape residence.

“A South African who is not white does not need more than one day’s stay in Palestine to be thrown back to pre-1994 and realize that apartheid is very much alive under Israel as a colonial power.”

Andrew Mlangeni, the last surviving defendant in the trial of Nelson Mandela and others who faced death for plotting to overthrow South Africa’s apartheid regime with guerrilla warfare, was buried on Wednesday.

Flags flew at half-mast as Mlangeni, who died last week aged 95, was laid to rest in a state funeral.

“We have lost not only a great patriot but a strident moral voice,” President Cyril Ramaphosa said in his eulogy before mourners who included ministers and elite members of the ruling African National Congress (ANC).

“While history will place Andrew Mlangeni in the pantheon of the great leaders of our nation, he will be remembered by his people as a person of humility, humanity and dignity.”

The mourners wore face masks and observed social distancing rules in line with coronavirus precautions.

Like Mandela, the country’s first black president, Mlangeni spent more than quarter of a century imprisoned on Cape Town’s notorious Robben Island before his release in 1989.

After the first democratic elections in 1994, he became an ANC lawmaker until he retired in 2014.

Mlangeni later became a fierce critic of the factionalism that gripped the ANC and rampant state corruption under President Jacob Zuma, who was in power from 2009 t0 2018.

Thabo Mbeki, Mandela’s successor, told mourners in a virtual address that Mlangeni was “concerned” about and spoke out against wrongs within the movement.

“We need to commit ourselves to the renewal of the ANC he built, the ANC he was concerned about,” Mbeki said.

Born in the central Free State province in 1925, Mlangeni joined the youth wing of the ANC in the early 1950s.

He was among the first group of liberation fighters to be sent outside of South Africa for military training in the early 1960s.

On his return home two years later, he was arrested.

The eight-month Rivonia Trial, named after the Johannesburg suburb where the ANC leaders were arrested, brought the anti-apartheid struggle to world attention.

Expecting to be sentenced to death, Mandela declared in an impassioned three-hour speech from the dock that freedom was “an ideal for which I am prepared to die”.

Instead, the group was sentenced to life imprisonment.

Mlangeni served 26 years behind bars alongside fellow anti-apartheid activists including Govan Mbeki, Walter Sisulu, Ahmed Kathrada and Dennis Goldberg, who died three months ago.

Mlangeni lived his entire life in Johannesburg’s Soweto township, the crucible of the anti-apartheid struggle.

He was laid to rest at the Roodepoort Cemetery, west of Johannesburg.

It may have been mere coincidence, but news over the past week focused on two contrasting perspectives of how apartheid affected the lives of South Africans.

On the one hand, there was former president FW de Klerk trying so desperately to dispel any notion that apartheid, as bad as it may have been, was ever a crime against humanity.

De Klerk granted interviews this week to mark 30 years after his announcement of the unbanning of liberation movements, the release of political prisoners including Nelson Mandela, Walter Sisulu and Ahmed Kathrada, and the setting in motion of steps towards a negotiated political settlement.

In those interviews, he was at pains to assure South Africans that although apartheid could not be justified, it could not be equated to genocide.

This despite a UN resolution which officially designated it a crime against humanity.

 When the police came through the door, they found a group of men studying ‘Operation Mayibuye’ – an MK proposal for guerrilla warfare, insurrection and revolution. Among the group were Walter Sisulu, Govan Mbeki, Raymond Mahlaba, Ahmed Kathrada, Arthur Goldreich, Dennis Goldberg and Lionel Bernstein.

Hundreds of incriminating documents were found during the raid, and members of the group were…

A TRIUMPH OF THE HUMAN SPIRIT

Here’s one more post related to Robben Island.  The ferryto the Island leaves from the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront in Cape Town. Written on the wall inside the ticket office, for the reflection of waiting passengers, are the words of ANC (African National Congress) activist and former prisoner Ahmed Kathrada dating from 1996. The quotation, which here I superimpose on a photo of some of the prison windows, reads:

“While we will not forget the brutality of apartheid we will not want Robben Island to be a monument of our hardship and suffering. We would want it to be a triumph of the human spirit against the forces of evil; a triumph of wisdom and largeness of spirit against small minds and pettiness; a triumph of courage and determination over frailty and weakness...”

And in the darkness, a mighty tree fell

There was a tree that stood, up on a hill, where once there was a forest. It’s aged branches and bark showed the violence and abuse of the passage of time. It stretched over the ground where it stood, casting a shadow deep across the meadow where its brethren once hardened the earth with their roots. Now and then the wind will blow through the valley and spin bushes and flowers off into the…

So Ahmed Kathrada passed away

I hope now that one of the lessons our nation remembers is that the Muslims were part of the vital team in fighting apartheid

Why think that they are enemies now?

Ahmed spent that life sentence with Madiba and its time that all the nations band together the way they once did and build a people that respect each other

We have to look at our past, the past of us South Africans, instead of foreign countries anywhere, and try, try to succeed the way the way our old leaders did

Imagine if those people thought the way we did? Petty and bitter. We would have gotten nowhere.

Here’s to a new morning, a better one.

Tata. Allah Almighty bless you with the highest stages of Paradise.
