Well, it's the flag of the old apartheid government, an oppressive regime that treated most of the country's citizens with disdain, why would any non racist person want that flag? Unless you still long for those days?

This is a good question, and I agree.

Why didn't Craig phrase it thus:

I think you're wrong - there's quite a few here that have it stashed with their expired 1994 canned food.

You know that flag existed before apartheid right and people gave their lives for it without it being the evil flag ....... you're getting as bad as Tyson lately, no rationality.

P.S - I only ever saw it once privately after 1994, in my oupa's war stuff. Even the dutchies waving it at rugby games is/was pretty damn rare but nope, you guys have it that most of MyBB have a flag that gets waved about during midnight rituals :rolleyes:

None of that matters now really. It was the flag of the apartheid government. There's no justification for it in modern day South Africa.

You are no diferrent to Malema and that MxMxit idiot if you still hang onto this flag

We would need a poll. I assume many people would want one.

I'm too young feel patriotic towards the old flag, but it would still be a nice to have to trigger leftards.

You are right, one of the few places I saw it was on a white supremacists, Neo-Nazi's T-shirt, who happened to be a mass shooter who walked into a church and shot 9 black people dead.

I wonder why the flag held such significant symbolism for him.

Dylann Storm Roof, with the apartheid South African (top) and Rhodesian flags


"The White people made a great nation of South Africa and Black people thrived and prospered there," David Duke, the infamous former Louisiana state representative and head of the Ku Klux Klan, wrote in a 2010 post on his website. "Meanwhile, in the rest of Africa, there were constant genocides, ethnic repressions, dictatorships, abject poverty, disease epidemics, wholesale crime and murder."

South Africa's flags are inextricably bound up in these narratives. The old South African flag, pictured above, was "an important [symbol] of white identity," George Mason University's John Nauright explains, containing smaller flags marking both Dutch and British identity but nothing marking black heritage. The post-apartheid South African flag, with its bright stripes and prominent V, was designed to represent a unified South Africa free of the last vestiges of colonial hierarchy.

So Roof's conscious decision to display the old South African flag is a means of asserting his affinity with the apartheid regime, likely standing in for a broader belief that the world is better off when whites control its commanding heights.

"Oh god, the old South African flag," Tauriq Moosa, a South African journalist, wrote after seeing the patch on Roof's jacket. "I'm literally nauseated."
