The Durban Wall of Existence on the corners of Currie and Springfield roads has been unveiled by the members of African Artists Against Apartheid, KZN Palestine Solidarity Forum, SA Muslim Network and Friends.

“The mural was done to express solidarity with the people of Palestine and Gaza through art and in remembrance of the thousands of lives that have been lost,” said academic Lubna Nadvi.

Speaking to Radio Islam International, Zaynab said it is clear to understand that the Occupation wants to wipe out the Palestinian existence and heritage from Palestine, and that is why it is called the Wall of Existence. Despite efforts by apartheid Israel to kill and eliminate as many Palestinians as they can, the Palestinians exist and resist their Occupation for so many decades.

“We want to emphasize that Palestinians exist, they have existed and will continue to exist,” says Zaynab.

Last week, residents and artists of Bo-Kaap in Cape Town painted a large mural on their flats in solidarity with the people of Palestine.

It is believed to be the largest mural in Cape Town, and the artists hope it can be the largest mural of the Palestinian flag in South Africa.
