The former mayor of Johannesburg, Thapelo Amad, caused a stir when he posted a photo of himself holding a rifle in support of the Palestinian group Hamas.
In the caption, he expressed solidarity with Hamas and a desire for a free Palestine. Some people on social media criticized the post, saying it promotes hate and incites violence.
One user even filed a complaint with the South African Human Rights Commission. Others defended Amad’s message but felt the gun photo was unnecessary.
