• Miss SA Lalela Mswane is in Israel for the Miss Universe pageant and recently posed happily with Jerusalem's Deputy Mayor Fleur Hassan-Nahoum
• The images and accompanying caption enraged numerous South Africans who are in support of the freedom of Palestinians
• Saffa netizens commented #FreePalestine among other things under the post shared on Twitter of Mswane and Hassan-Nahoum

Miss South Africa 2021 Lalela Mswane posed for pictures with Jerusalem's Deputy Mayor Fleur Hassan-Nahoum. A post of the two was shared on Twitter by @StandWithUs, an organisation "supporting Israel around the world".

The post has angered many South Africans who are fighting against the conflict between Israel and Palestine. Social media users have labelled Mswane 'Miss Apartheid' due to Israel being considered widely as an apartheid state.

Many Saffa netizens have stood strong by their words that Mswane does not represent them. This follows the Government's withdrawal of their support for Mswane's participation in the Miss Universe pageant.
