South Africa's long-held support for the Palestinian people can be traced back to the time of the late Nelson Mandela and Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, with the two leaders believing that the struggle for freedom by Blacks in apartheid South Africa and Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank were the same.
