ApartheidFlag | The Equality Court has reserved judgment.

Iain Currie, counsel for FAK, said the case was about political expression and it entailed asking the court to declare what could and could not be said.Currie said the previous regime, like all other authoritarian regimes, kept itself in power by exercising thought control over its citizens in establishing and policing what could be said and what could not be said.

However, counsel for the foundation Tembeka Ngcukaitobi said freedom of speech was itself constitutionally constrained.

FF Plus heads to Equality Court in a bid to ban BLF from participating in electionThe Freedom Front Plus (FF Plus) is expected to head back to the Electoral Court in a bid to prevent the Black First Land First (BLF) from participating in the general elections. Leave them alone. Every vote they attract is one which could be pointless. Otherwise the votes go to EFF or ANC. Lol the media always labels these right wing extremist, liberal progressives lol. FF+ is a racist party While i find BLF irrelevant and wondering who in their right mind would vote for them, i also find it quite odd that the likes of FF+ can only take offense from BLF and ignore the existence the Oranias and the Eureka...

Old SA flag profoundly humiliating and degrading, Equality Court told'What they are saying is that they yearn for the state where black people were humiliated. It is a profoundly humiliating and degrading message they are sending to black people.' And what the corrupt government is saying is they will rather waste their time on a dumb fucking stupid harmless flag and draw their own stupid conclusions instead of ignoring the flag and moving forward so all of us can continue our lives. Stop try changing the past. What they are saying is that they yearn for a country run by competent people where things work, not a corrupt party that is straling the country blind. Leave people to do their own thing and do not create a situation that will put a small group backs up
