Coal and South Africa’s complicity in the genocide in Gaza

Coal and South Africa’s complicity in the genocide in Gaza

10 سبتمبر، 2026

South Africa has rightly earned praise across the world for taking a principled stance against Israel’s genocidal assault on Gaza. But we cannot claim the mantle of global moral leadership while continuing to do business as usual with an apartheid regime now engaged in open genocide. Our ongoing export of coal to Israel — an arrangement that materially supports the very war effort we have condemned at The Hague — is a glaring contradiction in our otherwise principled positions.

PARTICIPATE IN THE CHANGE

Everyone can play a role against energy oppression. Disrupting energy flows can be achieved at every node of the supply chain, and by challenging the infrastructure that sustains it. Join workers and communities already taking action. Pressure your bank, your pension fund, your university, your union, your government.

End energy complicity. Energy embargo now.
