Show Notes
South Africas Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions coalition is urging the government to halt coal exports to Israel, citing legal grounds and aligning with South Africas own genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice. The activists argue that these exports contradict South Africas constitution and its stance at the ICJ. They point to Colombias example, which stopped coal shipments to Israel, as a model for South Africa to follow. The report submitted to the Trade and Industry Ministry outlines the ministers powers to restrict or ban exports, including coal, in the public interest. The government is currently reviewing the report.
