The problem is what that flag means to a large percentage of our population - it symbolises the atrocities committed under Apartheid and the lengthy racial subjugation of the majority by the minority. We are only a couple of decades beyond Apartheid, so there are many people in this country who lived under that flag and the horrors that were committed against them in its name. The best way to focus on going forward is not to continuously hark back to the symbols of the past.

The Swastika is also a part of history, but you won't find it on display anywhere in Germany...
