The Israeli Embassy has today confirmed that it will be releasing all the South Africans activists detained last week through Jordan tomorrow.
The South Africans, including Chief Mandla Mandela, the grandson of global anti-apartheid icon Nelson Mandela, were among the activists intercepted on the GSF Flotilla which was heading to Gaza to provide humanitarian aid to the area.
Responding on X to President Cyril Ramaphosa’s plea to release them, the embassy said: @CyrilRamaphosa: We trust @DIRCO_ZA has informed you that all South Africans who tried to enter illegally will be expelled tomorrow via Jordan.
“As always, it’s the South African taxpayers who get the honor of paying for their fellow citizens’ deportation tickets.”
This is a developing story.
