Apartheid era flag.
Apartheid era flag.
Despite the place being run by Communists it is one coolest national flags out there.
Afrikaners resented it because it recalled the forcible unification of the Afrikaner republics with the British colonies. It had more to do with compromise with the English whites than with Afrikaner aspirations. It was kept only because no one could ultimately agree on the ideal flag for the Republic that was established in 1961.
The current flag does incorporate the old Afrikaner colors and its a marriage of those with the traditional Pan African colors that represent the South Africa of today.
... But while Nelson Mandela led the country on a “long walk” to freedom...
For who? Whites? I don’t think so.
Mandela destroyed the country and utilized savages to do so in the name of “diversity.” Now, look at what a cesspool the country has become.
