Court Bans Gaza Protest Claims Against Cape Union Mart | Johannesburg News

A Cape court has slapped a major legal brake on the Palestine Solidarity Campaign’s protests outside Cape Union Mart, banning them from linking the retailer or its owner to genocide in Gaza — but leaving the BDS movement’s core message intact. After nearly two years of demonstrations, the court ruled that activists lacked credible evidence to support their claims, effectively silencing slogans and signs tying the business to Israel’s actions. While Cape Union Mart hailed the decision as protecting staff and customers, the PSC insists the ruling doesn’t stop their boycott campaign — and is already reviewing the judgment for appeal. Meanwhile, the Cape Town Ulama Board backed the protesters, calling their actions morally justified and warning against using courts to muzzle dissent.
