South Africa's apartheid flag: Nelson Mandela Foundation seeks ban

The Nelson Mandela Foundation has asked the courts to ban "gratuitous displays" of the apartheid-era South African flag.

The foundation argues public displays of the flag amounts to "hate speech, unfair discrimination and harassment".

The flag, it added, was a celebration of the crime against humanity committed by the white minority regime against millions of South Africans.

But some have reacted angrily, saying it would limit freedom of expression.
