From camera footage it appeared an old Telkom pole caught fire and resulted in the impact on the relevant home.

Several adults and young children were affected as all their belongings was destroyed.

We have to say a huge shukran to Ashraful Aid who immediately responded to our call to assist with aid.

We encourage those who are able to sponsor and to donate to organisations such as Ashraful Aid which ensures that in situations such as these the neccessary emergency aid can be available.

“As much as we desire peace and an end to genocide in Palestine

We know all to well this business deal that lurks in the background can never be trusted

All eyes remain on Gaza, we know that ceasefire deals with the calibre of individuals party to these agreements can never be trusted.

The bombing and massacre has not stopped

We will not stop fighting genocide, oppression, ethnic cleansing apartheid threatening people globally including in South Africa it is a common enemy that we as a people united will defeat the oppressors of us all. “

Palestine freedom is a start to global freedom

Youth for Palestine

Together – we CAN end the genocide against Palestine

Adv Shameemah Salie attended the march on 27 September 2025 in Cape Town South Africa alongside several Al Jama-ah supporters proudly wearing Palestinian Regalia.

Adv Salie has for decades been a Palestinian activists and continues to call on government to :
– End trade and stop fueling genocide with Israel
– To close the Zionist nest in South Africa that is the Israel embassy in Pretoria.
Closure is long overdue and it is a disgrace that our government remains complicit
– To utilize laws at disposal to investigate and prosecute the IDF in our midst

That South Africa and countries globally realize time for talk and negotiations are done.
We have followed the law we continue with the ICJ case, all which has shown us how weak international law is when countries completely disregard law
When there are countries complicit and part of committing genocide who vetoes and obstructs the end to barbaric massacre the only solution is action. It is time to remove such countries

– That our country bans the entry of Zionists into SA

This is a call to action for South Africa and globally military intervention is needed against Isra-hell to bring peace to Palestine and to end genocide against people of Palestine, by the barbaric rogue unlawful state of Isra-hell.

Adv Salie calls out all countries and questions how a thief, murderer, and oppressor can be awarded land through two state solution. All land belongs to Palestinians – who should be on forefront of decision making in one state solution

Return all stolen land to true owners the people of Palestine

From River to sea Palestine will be free!
