Meanwhile, President Jacob Zuma has met representatives of civil society, trade unions, and the ANC Youth League to discuss support for Palestine.
The lobby group, Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions SA says the meeting on Palestine was convened in response to growing protests by South African civil society across the country.
The meeting was held at Zuma's official residence Genadendal in Cape Town on Wednesday.
