Activists gather outside St George's Cathedral to honour journalists killed in Gaza
CAPE TOWN - A vigil is being held outside St George's Cathedral to honour the journalists who have been killed in Gaza. Journalists and activists have gathered outside the Church to show solidarity and to remember the media workers killed since October 7, 2023. According to the International Federation of Journalists, more than 270 journalists and media workers have been killed since the beginning of the conflict. Activists and journalists made their way to the steps of St George's Cathedral. Palestinian flags and posters are being held high by those who have come to pay their respects to the journalists who have lost their lives in the conflict. Some motorists showed support by hooting as they drove passed the oldest cathedral in Southern Africa. Demonstrators also chanted on the steps of the cathedral, calling for more to be done for the people of Palestine The chairperson from the Palestinian Solidarity Campaign, Usuf Chikte, said they are also strongly opposed to what he said is the deliberate starvation and killing of Palestinians and journalists. "And we are standing here in defence of humanity to oppose the killings and the starvation and the displacement of the Palestinians by Israel.' Demonstrators are calling for justice for the journalists who have lost their lives and for accountability from media companies. They said they have not been impartial in reporting on the conflict. This past Sunday, five journalists were killed in an Israeli airstrike in Gaza. Award-winning South African cartoonist, Jonathan Shapiro, was also in attendance and said he has been critical of the conflict in the Middle East for decades. 'I've been doing cartoons in support of Palestinians and condemning Israel for decades, actually, but of course in the last couple of years, since things have increased in their trusties and their ferocity and the genocide has become so apparent, I've done tougher and tougher cartoons, and I will keep doing them.' Freedom of Palestine demonstrators are also calling for intervention in war-torn Congo and Sudan.
