from justice. Sub Saharan Africans are starving. There is no crisis in Gaza but there is next door in Zimbabwe where the despot Mugabe would not be in power without help from the " new" South Africa No doubt Tutu approves, he is very quiet about everything else

Thank you for being a better example than these self acclaimed freedom countries

there is about 50 % unimployment in Sa thats 20 million people,I think you should start there intead of worrying about people you dont really care about,why not go closer maybe zimbabwe where people are starving,oh ye its not big enough news for you,come as a ex South African i am very dissapointed

Share the detail or fail.

The guy did say it to an Iranian TV station, so first they'll probably blame Iran. As always.

How silly is this? In keeping with the less than cerebral inspiration behind this activity, instead of driving, to show solidarity with the poor, suffering, malnourished, oppressed, under siege gazans, they should push their trucks across Africa. Upon arrival in gaza, take a drink and a dip at the water park, have a nice meal at a fancy restaurant, stay over at a swanky hotel, then push your trucks back to Africa

Let's see what breaks down first, the trucks or the people driving them They're going to be very saddle sore, driving in all that heat on rotten roads They better have plenty of spare parts, gasoline and mechanics At least they have brains enough not to attempt make the trip in a phony AID FLOTILLA This is just a publicity stunt, South Africa should have devoted the money they're going to waste to find a cure for the disease of AIDS, which rampant in SA

Charity begins at home South Africans should take care of their own people first

On the way they pass through South Sudan (who are under siege from the North). Egypt will not let them through, hence the ferry to El Arish. Maybe they can go through to Syria instead and deliver the aid, as Gaza has already said they dont need it. Wonder if any BBC or CNN reporters will be going along to "report"

every single country along the way from south africa to gaza have much more needy populations than well fed gaza. it is just absurd to bring aid from south africa to the gaza strip. infant death rates in gaza are better than in all of africa (including south africa).

nothing left too give.The drivers will sell the goods or they will be robbed on the way.10000 ks too bring baby diapers,crazy,the petrol will cost more than the stuff they are bringing

Please note, the Muslim community in South Africa is large and hates Israel, however, the white christian population and educated black christian, their numbers are large - and they support Israel's right to self defense. Israel is not alone. Educated people keep quite - but their support is still there. Our Muslims are loud here - and also useless

israel won't react since israel already said that all goods CAN BE TRANSPORTED VIA EGYPT EL ARISH PORT AT ALL TIMES...AS WELL AS THROUGH ASHDOD, THE ISRAELI PORT. israel is only against the flotilas that are trying to breach the maritime blockade.

Which is prevalent in South Africa, which has the highest incidence of that nasty, deadly disease in all of Africa

aid to Gaza...passing through all the starving African countries, ignoring their real pain in order to get to the "starving Gazans" haha - what a bunch of hypocrites, anti Semite Bigots dressed up as Human Rights Activists...

There are thousands of people living in abject poverty in South Africa. SA should be looking after it's own people first. Palestine is just a popular, trendy cause and South Africa has always been biased against Israel.
