Questions are being raised about political newcomer Rise Mzansi’s senior party leaders and their pro-Palestine views.

This after the SA Jewish Board of Deputies (SAJBD) expressed concern about social media comments and posts of some of Rise Mzansi’s most senior leaders ahead of the general election.

The SAJBD believes there are biased views coming from many political parties, including Rise Mzansi, some of which amount to “antisemitic defamation”.
