​The SAJBD notes a rant by Mehmet Dag

02 May 2025

The SAJBD notes a rant by Mehmet Dag, identifying SA Jewish leadership by name and calling for them to be arrested and our Jewish organisations to be shut down.

We recognise this for what it is; yet another desperate attention seeking exercise by Dag. Dag has devoted his time to spewing hate against various groups of South Africans.

He has numerous legal charges against him, both by Jewish and other SA organisations, and individuals.

We trust that these matters will appear shortly in the courts and Mr Dag will face justice.
