SAJBD Meet with the amaHlubi Royal Family

On Friday, 29 August 2025, the South African Jewish Board of Deputies (SAJBD) had the honour of meeting with the Royal Family of the amaHlubi nation, including HRM King Langalibalele II and Queen of Amahlubi, HRM Mzamose ka Sobhuza. The amaHlubi nation dates back to the 1300’s, residing in KZN, EC, WC, FS, GP, MP, and Lesotho and compromise of over 3 million South Africans.

Desperate Dangor’s antizionist rant

In recent weeks, the SAJBD has observed a rise in increasingly hostile efforts to challenge the perspectives of our community organisations and silence “mainstream” Jewish voices. In this case, “mainstream” Jewish refers to community members who are traditionally Jewish in observance (be it orthodox or progressive), and Zionist in orientation. Yet, the discourse has shifted, increasingly framing Zionism itself as beyond acceptable bounds, thereby deeming aligned groups inherently problematic. What stands out, however, is that the campaign against mainstream Jewry is increasingly desperate, incoherent, and too often driven by a quest for attention rather than substantive dialogue.
