Conversation about the validity of the apartheid flag resurfaced on social media following a hearing at the Equality Court.
The matter was heard at the South Gauteng High Court on Monday after the Nelson Mandela Foundation and the SA Human Rights Commission filed an application to have the apartheid flag display of the apartheid flag banned.
The application is being opposed by the AfriForum on the grounds that the flag is protected by the constitution.
The foundation, which is being legally represented by Advocate Tembeka Ngcukaitobi, filed the application in October 2017 following protests organised by the AfriForum against farm murders.
The ongoing hearing sparked debate on social media with others saying the flag should have been banned at the dawn of democracy.
