Mmabatho Montsho has been lauded by X users after she cancelled her Metro FM interview.
This after the station promoted an interview with Millet Ben Haim to speak about surviving the attack at the Nova Festival in Israel in October 2023 and later deleted the post.
The actress said the station was in support of "Zionist apartheid".
"Thank you for alerting me that the show supports Zionist apartheid. I will not be doing the interview," she wrote.
Thank you for alerting me that the show supports zionist apartheid. I will not be doing the interview. If you are in Joburg, please come to Constitution Hill and join the 1000 drums for Palestine at 10am. We also have free (amazing) film screenings. Free Palestine 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸 https://t.co/eLBjdygwBX

You have my respect and eternal support. Thank you for speaking out about this. I didn’t know the show is Zionist so thanks for highlighting that too.
