The 1928 Flag of South Africa has come to globally represent a symbol of white supremacy, exclusion and hatred and is considered by most South Africans as a source of trauma and terror. The Nelson Mandela Foundation decided to apply to the Equality Court for gratuitous displays of the flag to be declared hate speech because of the mandate Nelson Mandela gave us, namely to contribute to a just society through dialogue on critical social issues. And today we have done just that. We have started a conversation about what matters to South Africans, how to remember the past and what the past means for us today.
