The Global Samud Flotilla (GSF) is entering the final leg to reach the shores of Gaza and break the inhumane Israeli siege on the Palestinian enclave. Organisers say they are departing from off the coast of a Greek island despite one of its lead vessels, known as the Family Boat, suffering mechanical failure. Those aboard that vessel have been reallocated. It adds that the flotilla's operational centre remains intact and that the spirit of Samud that guides them cannot be broken. Samud, the Palestinian and resistance concept of unconquerable steadfastness. The US-backed Israeli war machine has threatened the humanitarian flotilla and has already attacked the civilian-led mission.

The South African government has called on the international community to intensify its efforts to ensure that the GSF sails unimpeded and safely to Gaza. The Department of International Relations and Cooperation (Dirco) says it's imperative that the norms of international law and international humanitarian law are upheld and that all parties respect their obligations to protect civilian lives and humanitarian missions. It further commended and expressed its appreciation to the 23 South Africans aboard the flotilla.

A three-year-old boy has been shot and wounded in Beacon Valley, Mitchells Plain. The toddler was struck while sleeping in a wendy house in Tennis Street. Police say, according to reports, gunshots went off outside the structure, and the father discovered that his son had been injured in the left leg after a bullet penetrated the wood. The incident happened during the early hours of Friday morning. No arrests have yet been made.

Almost 120 young people under the age of 18 were shot in the Western Cape over a six-month period this year. At least 23 of them were killed. This while children under the age of 14 accounted for five of these deaths, and just over 40 others were wounded. Since August, murders have increased by 18% compared to the same period last year. These numbers were revealed by acting police minister Firoz Cachalia during a parliamentary briefing on the alarming rate of gang violence and terror in the province, particularly Cape Town.

The Israeli regime’s actions in occupied Palestine and in Gaza, must be called for what it is, and that is “genocide”. This is the assertion of Muslim Judicial Council President Sheikh Riyaad Fataar. Speaking at press briefing ahead of this weekend’s mass march, Fataar urged the South African government to take decisive action, including ending all business ties with the Israeli occupation.

Fataar called for the permanent closure of the Israeli Embassy in Pretoria, citing South Africa’s moral and legal obligation to do so. He also slammed South Africans serving in the Israeli Occupation Forces, demanding that the Apartheid Bill be signed into law.

Meanwhile, Moulana Khaliq Allie of the United Ulema Council of South Africa, echoed the call, urging global attention not just on Gaza, but also on Israeli land theft in the West Bank.

He criticised Western nations for ignoring the Israeli entity's violations of international law.

They were speaking ahead of this Saturday’s march in support of Gaza.

Trains will be free for those travelling to and from the march. Participants must wear Palestinian regalia and show the march poster to gain access to the free service.

MothersForGaza have demonstrated outside the Democratic Alliance's offices in Cape Town. This as the party has failed to speak out on the genocide being committed by Israel in Gaza. The DA's Chairperson of the Federal Council, Helen Zille, has also recently refused to call the atrocities being committed against Palestinians as 'genocide', despite several international groups confirming that it is happening in the enclave.
