South African workers march in solidarity with Palestinians
In South Africa, unions have linked Workers’ Day commemorations to a march in solidarity with Palestinians.
Hundreds have joined trade unionists in Cape Town to call for an end to what they say is Israel’s “genocide” in Gaza. They are also calling for solidarity with Palestinian workers. President Cyril Ramaphosa has joined the rally ahead of a speech he will be giving for the upcoming elections.
“The march led up to Athlone Stadium in Cape Town, where there are thousands of people scattered around the stadium ahead of the address by President Cyril Ramaphosa,” Al Jazeera’s Fahmida Miller reported from inside the stadium.
“This event takes place annually on May Day, but this year it’s very much in solidarity with the people of Palestine,” she said.
Miller added that Ramaphosa’s ruling African National Congress has traditionally called for a two-state solution in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and an end to the occupation of Palestine, noting that it was likely that the president’s speech would contain more of this rhetoric.

Protesters waved Palestinian flags and chanted slogans as they gathered in front of the union’s headquarters in Tunisia’s capital.
“Labour Day this year came drenched in the blood of thousands of Palestinian children, women, the elderly and civilians, and is immersed with the wounds of tens of thousands of those who were rained down on by the Zionist war machine,” Noureddine Taboubi, UGTT secretary-general, told the crowd.
