South Africa's Foreign Minister Naledi Pandor has said that its citizens who have been fighting in Gaza with the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) will be arrested on their return to the country, the AP news agency reports.

the statement shared on social media.
Ms Maribe was last month cleared of murdering businesswoman Monica Kimani after a six-year trial that gripped Kenyans.
She and her former fiancé Joseph Irungu, also known as "Jowie", had been charged in the murder of the businesswoman, who was found with her throat slit at her apartment in Nairobi in 2018.
Irungu was sentenced to death on Wednesday after the court found him guilty of the murder.
