Jews join countrywide marches for change
The South African Jewish Report and its readers have played their part in the momentous events of the past two weeks – standing up to be counted among the hundreds of thousands of our fellow South Africans in the historic #ZumaMustFall marches for change in the country. We made sure that our voices were heard in protest marches and human chains all around the country. SEE TONS OF PICS – SEND US YOURS…

CHIEF RABBI IN THE TRENCHES & ON STAGE The Chief Rabbi once again spoke out to Power last week. Goldstein was at the forefront of the #ZumaMustFall march in Pretoria, both on the ground and in a rabble-rousing short interlude on the stage, SEE VIDEO, outside the Union Buildings to the delight of protesters of all persuasions. This follows almost a year to the day after Goldstein had been one of the first senior leaders in SA to tell the ANC that President Jacob Zuma had “lost the moral legitimacy to govern this country”.
