South African activist Mbuyiseni Ndlozi, at the time a student, gave an inspiring speech in London in 2012 as part of Israeli Apartheid Week (IAW). He spoke about the South African struggle against white rule and the global solidarity movement to isolate the country through boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) which helped black South Africans win freedom, justice and equality. He drew parallels between the global movement for BDS against Israel in solidarity with the Palestinian struggle.
