South African Minister to boycott tennis match against Israel

South Africa's Sports Minister Thulas Nxesi will boycott an upcoming Davis Cup tennis match against Israel.

The event, organized by Tennis South Africa (TSA) will be held in Pretoria on February 2 and 3. The African News Agency (ANA) reported that Nxesi’s decision to boycott the event follows a letter sent to him by several anti-Israel South African organizations and the personal humiliation he says he experienced in 2012 when he was refused entry into Israel.
