    Default Could we not display the old South African flag along side the forum title?

    The current flag of the Republic of South Africa was adopted on April 27, 1994, during the 1994 general election. A new national flag was adopted to represent the new democracy.
    As this forum is about the preservation of European culture, would the old flag not be more appropriate? Besides, many white South Africans do not recognise the new flag.


    Finally, a compromise was reached that resulted in the adoption of a separate flag for the Union in late 1927, and the design was first hoisted on 31 May 1928. The design was based on the so-called Van Riebeeck flag or Prinsevlag ("Prince's flag" in Afrikaans) which was originally the Dutch flag, and consisted of orange, white, and blue horizontal stripes. A version of this flag was used as the flag of the Dutch East India Company at the Cape (with the VOC logo in the centre) from 1652 until 1795. The South African addition to the design was three smaller flags centred in the white stripe. The smaller flags were the Union Flag towards the hoist, the Orange Free State Vierkleur hanging vertically and the Transvaal Vierkleur towards the fly.

    They won't allow the English flag I don't hold much hope for it.

    I asked about this a long time ago. They are sticking to the official South African flag.
