The SAJBD picketed outside the offices of the Department of Justice to protest against Minister Lamola’s refusal to acknowledge that there is antisemitism in South Africa. Wearing t-shirts `The Lamola Deception’, we delivered a memorandum of understanding calling for the Minister to recognise that antisemitism is not `a figment of the imagination’ as he suggested in his interview on BBC HardTalk. We called for antisemitism to be taken seriously as they do with all other forms of hate in this country. We alerted the Department to specific incidents of assault and offered to provide SAPS case numbers despite the Minister saying in an interview on 702, “it has never been reported to any law enforcement authority in SA”.
