In case you missed it, Inkosi Zwelivelile Mandla Mandela, the grandson of Nelson Mandela, has called on African countries to boycott the Miss Universe competition, which is to be held in Israel.
Why? Because he clearly did not internalize what true apartheid looks like.
“Israel is an Apartheid State and we will continue to mobilise all freedom loving people of the world to boycott, divest and pass sanctions against the brutal apartheid regime,” said a statement released by Mvezo Komkhulu (The Great Place).
“Daily Apartheid Israel violates the fundamental human rights of the Palestinian people and commits crimes against humanity,” the statement said further.
“We call on all African countries to withdraw from the Miss Universe pageant in Apartheid Israel in protest at its observer status granted unilaterally by the AU Commissioner.
I have a lot to say about this, but why listen to me when you can listen to former Miss Iraq Sarah Idan?
