Equality Court declares the display of the Apartheid flag as hate speech, unfair discrimination and harassment

SAfm — The Equality Court has declared the gratuitous display of the Apartheid flag as hate speech, unfair discrimination and harassment. The Nelson Mandela Foundation brought the matter to court - stating that the display of the flag amounts to hate speech and unfair discrimination against black South Africans. Lobby group, AfriForum, challenged the move - saying it will violate freedom of speech. South Gauteng Deputy Judge President Phineas Mojapelo says those who display the apartheid flag, deliberately choose to reject reconciliation and their intention is to propagate hateful feelings.
