- Six South African activists were held for six days in Israel after their flotilla carrying aid to Gaza was intercepted.
- They described harsh treatment and the daily humiliation faced by Palestinians under the ongoing siege.
- The group called on international governments to take concrete steps to secure the release of detained activists.
- Plans are underway to organize a second flotilla to continue delivering humanitarian aid and challenge the blockade.
I feel disappointed because I don’t feel we accomplished the mission, because we were kidnapped before we could do so and one of the things that will stay forever with me is the image of the Palestinian children — the people in Gaza waiting hopeful that we would arrive and then we didn’t.— Zukiswa Wanner, a journalist and novelist, spoke to the Mail & Guardian on the sidelines of the press conference.

- The EFF accuses the British high commission of intentionally obstructing Julius Malema's visa application to prevent his participation in the Cambridge Africa Together Conference.
- The party condemned the delayed processing as a political snub, attributing it to Malema's outspoken criticism of colonialism and the British monarchy.
- British High Commissioner Antony Phillipson expressed regret over the delay, citing necessary procedures and recent UK bank holidays as reasons for not processing the visa on time.
- The EFF views this incident as part of a broader effort to silence dissenting voices against imperialism and capitalism and reaffirms its commitment to international mobilization.
The British authorities have denied me a visa to London for the Cambridge Conference this weekend, providing no substantial justification. It is clear to me that this is an attempt to silence a dissenting political perspective.— Julius Malema expresses his frustration over being denied a visa and claims it is an attempt to stifle political dissent.
