Mandla Mandela leads SA delegation in Global Flotilla to Gaza

# Nelson Mandela’s grandson, Mandla Mandela, is leading South Africa’s delegation in the Global Sumud Flotilla, the largest civilian maritime mission challenging Israel’s blockade of Gaza. The fleet, launched from Barcelona in Spain with 50 vessels from 44 nations, carries food, medical supplies, and baby formula. International figures like Swedish political activist Greta Thunberg and American actress Susan Sarandon have joined. Despite storm delays, the mission will regroup in Tunisia, underscoring solidarity with Palestine amid South Africa’s genocide case against Israel.
