Maimane criticises use of old SA flag

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Democratic Alliance (DA) leader Mmusi Maimane has criticised the use of the old South African flag in South Africa.

In October, images of the old South Africa flag were seen on social media during the black Monday protests.

Maimane has been addressing delegates at the Gauteng DA Congress in Midrand, north of Johannesburg.

“That flag reminds us of a painful history that divided us. It is not in the interest of SA or the advancement of a reconciled SA that we must go around in public places and wave that flag. It undermines our goals and sets us looking backwards. I want to build a country where South Africans are united behind this flag, the SA flag; a future for all South Africans, a non-racial SA. So, if you want to wave the old flag, vote for another party.”
