Our proverb of the day: Relations between the two countries hit a new low last month, when South Africa filed a case against Israel at the International Court of Justice, accusing Israel of committing genocide in Gaza - a charge it has rejected.
The dog of the village chief is not the chief of all dogs in the village" Since then, Naledi Pandor said she had spoken to South African Police Minister Bheki Cele about beefing up her security after she received threatening messages.

These are baseless and false accusations, yet another blood libel by the South African foreign minister, who serves as the legal arm of the Hamas terrorist organisation.
South Africa is trying to undermine Israel's right to defend itself and its citizens, and to promote the interests of Hamas and Iran in the Middle East and Africa.
The South African government's support for terrorism and its actions against Israel on the bilateral and international levels are an indelible stain."
Around 1,200 people were killed during the Hamas attacks on southern Israel on 7 October, according to Israeli officials.
More than 27,800 Palestinians have been killed and at least 67,000 injured by the war launched by Israel in response, according to the Hamas-run health ministry.
Correction
13 February: This post wrongly reported that about 1,300 people had been killed
following the 7 October attack by Hamas. This was based on counting those who
later died from their injuries in addition to the figure of more than 1,200.
The article has been amended to now refer to about 1,200 deaths, a figure which
includes those deaths and which Israel says is not final.
