The Equality Court has ruled that the gratuitous display of the old South African flag is hate speech.

Judge Phineas Mojapelo read the judgement a short while ago.
He says those who display the Apartheid flag choose oppression over liberation.
The Nelson Mandela Foundation took the matter to court, asking it to declare that the display of the old flag amounts to hate speech and unfair discrimination against black South Africans.
The old flag will still be able to be used in artwork, in academic research and for journalistic purposes.
