This is a witch hunt, says AfriForum Roets

“There is a bigger picture here about protection of civil liberties and freedom of speech, that is our plea. The only thing I did I tweeted the flag and that is not something you should be thrown in jail for. Other than that, you can't say it’s hate speech. This is a witch hunt,” he said.But it insists people's right to dignity must be respected.

“I think it’s important to reflect not just today in SA on our history, how many people have gone through the pain of apartheid, which is represented by this flag, and therefore what are we going to do to move forward,” said NMF's communications director,Luzuko Koti.
