The Struggle for a FREE PALESTINE CONTINUES.

Boycotts Around the World are very effective, but why are they very slow in South Africa?

Lots of complaints have been received regarding Muslim Franchises and Businesses keeping Coca Cola products in their premises. Complaints stem around the fact that Coke is a well known beverage company that supports Israeli genocidal activities in Occupied Palestine.

Therefore, any business that sells these products are deemed complacent in these oppressive acts, hence boycotting them is an ethical action to do. Eateries around the world have reported sales dip in Asia, the Middle East and many parts of Europe.

Many Franchises such as McDonald’s have missed sales targets partly due to boycotts against their products in some parts of the world over its perceived support for Israel.

The war on Gaza “meaningfully impacted” performance in the last years. Sales growth in the Middle East, China and India stood at 0.7 percent in the quarter, far below expectations.

Several fast-food companies in US brands are also hit by boycotts and protests over their perceived support for Israel’s war on Gaza.

Surprisingly, South Africa is left behind globally, as the campaigns are not producing meaningful impact. It is disheartening to note that some of these businesses and franchises are Muslim owned, therefore, they should be on the forefront of Boycotts, Campaigns and Protests.
