Middle East peace activists to visit our Bloemfontein Campus
2012-02-15

Two Middle East peace activists, the one Palestinian and the other Israeli, will visit our Bloemfontein Campus on 8 March 2012 to share their ideas on the situation in the Middle East.

Bassem Eid, Director of the Palestinian Human Rights Monitoring Group, along with Benjamin Pogrund, the former Director of the Yakar Centre for Social Concern, will provide some perspective on the Israeli-Palestinian dispute.

Pogrund is a former South African journalist known for his reporting on apartheid. His journalism career includes being deputy-editor of the former Rand Daily Mail. He also worked as chief foreign sub-editor at The Independent in London. Pogrund, who immigrated to Israel in 1997, was a member of the Israeli delegation to the World Conference against Racism in Durban in 2001.
