    Certain retailers in South Africa are being boycotted as an attempt to prevent them from stocking products sourced in Israel.

    The protest is in relation to the Gaza-Israel war, which has claimed the lives of around 2,000 people, many of which being Palestinians.

    Woolworths has been one of the retailers hit hardest by the Boycott, Divestments and Sanctions against Israel in South Africa (BDS South Africa) protest, as the company is known to source, among other products, pretzels, couscous, matzo, figs, litchis and mangoes from Israel.

    “We only source food abroad – in accordance with government regulations – when local products are out of season,” Woolworths said.

    Pick ‘n Pay is also one of the stores being hit as many Muslim customers have banded to boycott its products saying that the chain supports Israel. However, Pick ‘n Pay says it has “always adopted a strictly non-political stance”.
