Old SA flag represents a nostalgia for apartheid, court hears

Johannesburg - An advocate representing the Nelson Mandela Foundation argued at the Equality Court sitting at the Johannesburg High Court that the old South African flag was birthed during the apartheid regime to support racial exclusion."Those who do so wish to display their previous advantages as white persons," he said.

Lobby group AfriForum counters the application arguing that even gratuitous displays of the old flag are protected by the right to freedom of expression. He accused AfriForum of having double standards when it comes to the display of the apartheid-era flag using the example of the Black Monday protest in 2017 against white farm attacks.
