For months in Cape Town, South Africa, Murals for Gaza has depicted the realities of Israel's war on Gaza through its artwork, calling for action. The murals in the Bo-Kaap neighbourhood and other areas attract attention from both tourists and locals, highlighting South Africa’s history of oppression and apartheid. Many residents believe the situation in Gaza will influence their votes in the upcoming general elections. The Democratic Alliance faces criticism for its stance on Gaza, while the African National Congress's support for Palestinians is welcomed. Several organisations urge voters to support pro-Palestinian parties, potentially impacting the elections.
