Despite using a beauty pageant to make a political statement, SA has no intentions of cutting diplomatic or business ties with Israel.

But despite all of the anti-Israel posturing, South Africa has no intention of suspending any diplomatic relationships with Israel – something which Department of International Relations and Cooperation spokesperson Clayson Monyela strongly emphasised.

“We have diplomatic relations with both Israel and Palestine. What has happened with Miss South Africa cannot even be anywhere close to cutting diplomatic ties. We can’t do that because if we do that, it means we can’t engage Israel so are excluding ourselves from being part of the solution to the conflict, because if you cut ties with a country, they don’t have to engage with you,” said Monyela.

“We now understand that politics can be used in other areas of human endeavour to achieve certain interests… This is raw politics at its best, which is allowed to influence outcomes in a particular human space and that is the beauty pageant,” Hanyane said.It is false to expect such boycotts to bring about the same success as sanctions in South Africa did during apartheid, said chair of the Gauteng region of the South African Jewish Board of Deputies Karen Milner.

“This isn’t going to change the situation in the Middle East. This is nowhere equivalent to the kinds of sanctions brought down on South Africa, because SA was a rogue state and acknowledged as such, and apartheid is a crime against humanity. I am not saying there aren’t problems in the Middle East but they are not the same. It’s a different conflict and it needs a different solution,” said Milner.
