Members of a pro-Palestine group raised anti-Israel slogans outside the Newlands Cricket Stadium before the start of the second Test between India and South Africa on Wednesday and demanded the sacking of national U-19 skipper David Teeger for his comments in support of the Israel army.
The small group of protestors displayed placards which read “Boycott, apartheid Israel” and “Smash apartheid Israel for a six”. They also shouted slogans asking for an independent Palestine.
