The Cape Town Trauma Unit has decided to cancel its contract with the G4S security companies following allegations that the company backs Israeli apartheid and exploits employees.

The ANC Youth League in the province has welcomed the decision by the trauma unit.

ANC Youth League Convener in the province Mohammad Khalid Sayed said all South African companies should follow and boycott the G4S.

Sayed said the ANC Youth League in the Western Cape will be consulting with the UCT Palestine Solidarity Forum, the UCT South African Students Congress, UCT Young Communist League and the UCT ANC Youth League branches together with BDS South Africa in the coming weeks to escalate the boycott of G4S campaign at UCT as well as at Stellenbosch.

He added that the universities belong to us, the young people, and we are the deciders of what companies our institutions of higher learning should contract with.
