The display of the apartheid flag was declared hate speech in 2019 after the court considered the matter brought by the Nelson Mandela Foundation and SA Human Rights Commission., judge president Phineas Mojapelo said displaying the flag was racist and discriminatory
“Those who display the old flag consciously and deliberately choose not to display the new democratic, all-uniting and nonracial flag. They choose oppression over liberation symbols. They intend to insult and awaken feelings of white supremacy,” he said. He said displays of the flag were offensive not only to black people but also to members of the LGBTQI+ community, and its display could fairly be seen as a message propagating hatred and hurtfulness.“The Constitutional Court has time and again emphasised the importance of historical context when considering human dignity, especially the history of racialised inequality in SA, a unique attribute of which was the denial of human dignity to black South Africans,” he said.
Van Damme said it wasn't a surprise, saying AfriForum believes apartheid was not a crime against humanity.Would the Const.’s freedom of expression clause view flying the flag as protected free speech? Is it in line with the values the Constitution espouses? No, on the second count. Not protected free speech as it represents & could incite discrimination on the grounds of race. IMO
They can/and already display these symbols of hate in their homes
I mean, seriously. Wtf for? There are far bigger issues to focus on.
Once a European always a European . We have seen what they did to Blacks in Ukraine. Afriforum same WhatsApp group, they undermine our Democracy period
But black south Africans have a privilege to hate and burn other Africans please let white people practice their racism in peace
