Goldberg #BoycottWoolworths
We are extremely proud to inform the media and the public that Denis Goldberg, the famous freedom fighter who spent 22 years in jail (after being sentenced to life with Mandela and several others in the Rivonia trial), joined activists in a till jam at Constantia Woolworths.
He filled his trolley with groceries and when he saw that the store was selling Israeli imports, he then refused to buy anything. He has done similar actions decades ago against the Apartheid government of South Africa, demanding that the world stop supporting Apartheid South Africa. After spending 22 years in jail for freedom in South Africa he has continued to fight oppression by supporting the #BoycottWoolworths campaign.
The struggle credentials of Denis Goldberg have brought new pressure onto Woolworths with ever increasing till jams, store actions, public condemnation and protest actions. Instead of protecting international law by canceling
their contracts with G4S and imports from Israel, Woolworths instead continues to threaten activists with legal action and court orders. The pressure is mounting on Woolworths to do the right thing and stop importing from Apartheid Israel. Denis Goldberg said he will not buy from a store that supports Israel and that he wants the store to relay his message to senior management. As his friend, co-accused and former president Nelson Mandela said “We know too well that our freedom is incomplete without the freedom of the Palestinians.”
