"As Premier, the first thing I will do is shut down this Zionist diaspora," Vefa Dag said on X on Monday. "Zionist killers are groomed in Cape Town, South Africa. Shut down this killer school in South Africa."

Vefa Dag also described the Jewish school as a "devil school" in a March 27 TikTok video.
