South African government withdraws support for Miss South Africa after the organisation refused to pull out of the Miss Universe contest in Israel
South Africa's Department of Sport, Arts and Culture said it hopes to convince Lalela Mswane to pull out of the contest.
The move on Sunday comes after Pro-Palestine organisations called on Lalela Mswane, crowned Miss South Africa in October, and pageant organiser Miss SA to boycott the event to condemn Israel's treatment of the Palestinian people. South Africa has a long history of supporting the Palestinian people and Israel's treatment of Palestinians reminds many in the country of apartheid crimes against its Black population. Israel and apartheid: Lessons from the South African experiencePolitical parties including the ruling African National Congress and some of the country's biggest trade unions also support the boycott.
