Cape Town — The South African activists from the Gaza Flotilla have returned home to a heroes’ welcome at OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg.
EWN reports that Dr. Fatima Hendricks, Mandla Mandela, grandson of Nelson Mandela, Reaaz Moola, Carrie Shelver, Dr. Zaheera Soomar, and award-winning novelist Zukiswa Wanner arrived to an emotional welcome with supporters and family cheering their return.
The six activists were part of a flotilla that sought to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza before their vessels were intercepted in international waters by Israeli forces, leading to their detention for several days.
