The | |
Palestinian national football team played against South | |
Africa's Western Cape 11 on Sunday, in a friendly meant to signify South | |
Africa's solidarity with Palestinians. | |
President Cyril Ramaphosa led spectators in chants of "Free Free Palestine!" and | |
reiterated South Africa's continued support for Palestinians in the | |
ongoing war with Israel. | |
Other top officials attended including Foreign Minister Naledi Pandor . | |
"The | |
people of Palestine and the leadership of the Palestine Liberation | |
Organisation, led by Abu Ammar, Comrade Yasser Arafat, were amongst the | |
greatest friends and supporters of our struggle for freedom. They stood | |
by us during our darkest days, giving us hope and courage," President | |
Ramaphosa said, drawing reference to his country's struggle against apartheid. | |
"Today, we the people of a free South Africa, take your hands in ours. We stand with you and by you," he added. | |
President Ramaphosa also thanked spectators "for being here supporting the people of Palestine". | |
The | |
match was scheduled to coincide with the 1990 prison release of South | |
Africa's liberation hero and former President Nelson Mandela. | |

to provide Palestinian players with the opportunity to enjoy their | |
favourite sport in conditions of peace and sound infrastructure". | |
