Mswane has come under immense pressure to boycott the event from anti-Israel activists from her home country and online, including under a trending hashtag of #notmymisssa. She appears poised to participate in the international event nonetheless despite the criticism.
On Instagram, the Johannesburg-based Palestine Solidarity Alliance lamented that "after weeks of trying to engage with @lalela_mswane with an intention of educating her with regards to the plight of the Palestinian people she had decided to block both the @psa_sa and the @psa_yl account.
"It is clear now that Miss SA does not care about the plight of the Palestinians and is only worried about her own self gains. With this said Comrades IT IS TIME TO FIGHT HARDER, TIME TO MAKE OUR VOICES HEARD, TIME TO MAKE OUR PRESENCE FELT, TIME TO ENSURE lalela lali A SO SELF PROCLAIMED 'Advocate of Children Empowerment' DOES NOT REPRESENT SOUTH AFRICA AS IS SHE IS CLEARLY NOT A REPRESENTATION OF OUR BELOVED COUNTRY!!!!"
The Miss South Africa organization, which also came under attack, told South African podcast producer TshisaLIVE it was "not getting involved in a political war of words and looks forward to watching Miss SA make the country proud on an international stage."

The first academic delegation from Morocco since the signing of the Abraham Accords participated in a conference on Moroccan Jewish culture and law on Monday in Ramat Gan.
The two-day Bar-Ilan University conference, titled “Jewish Culture and Law in Morocco,” was co-hosted by Israeli and Moroccan research centers — the Aharon and Rachel Dahan Center for Culture, Society and Education in the Sephardic Heritage at Bar-Ilan University, and the Center for Studies and Research on Hebraic Law in Essouiara, Morocco.
“This conference comes from the dream of the preservation of Jewish heritage,” Abderrahim Beyyoudh, head of Morocco’s diplomatic mission in Tel Aviv, told The Times of Israel. “The Moroccan Jewish heritage is the foundation of the relationship with Israel.”

The demonisation of Israel on British campuses is spiralling out of control.
Last night Tzipi Hotovely, Israeli ambassador to the UK, had to be evacuated from an event at the London School of Economics (LSE). A viral video shows Hotovely being ushered into a waiting car. Her security guards appear to stop at least one individual from rushing up to her. A line of policemen holding back protesters can be seen in the background.
