'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.'

Trengove said those who waved the old flag did that in public, in front of black people who were degraded by the apartheid state.

The foundation launched the case following the display of the old flag during a Black Monday protest organised by AfriForum in October 2017 against the murder of people on farms.

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

WATCH LIVE: Nelson Mandela Foundation makes case for banning old SA flagThe Equality Court is hearing arguments on Monday morning on why the Nelson Mandela Foundation wants the old apartheid-era flag banned and decalred hate speech. A flag can't speak, so it can't possibly be 'hate-speech'. Dont ban the flag. We as black people must be reminded that the struggle is not over. We're still hated & not recognised in our own country. This rainbow nation nonsense is a big lie. We need not to beg people to love us but challenge ourselves to love each other. Let’s not forget what this flag represents to the majority of South Africans.
