The desecration of SA flag by DA is a deliberate attempt to urinate at the gains of democracy  


 

By OBAKENG MAJE 

The ANCYL spokesperson in North West, Tshepo Mohlomi, who wrote in his personal capacity said, the political advertisement of the Democratic Alliance (DA), by burning a South African flag, bothers on national unity, reconciliation and building of a united democratic, non-racial, non-sexist and prosperous South Africa.

Mhlomi said many scholars have argued that a flag is a symbol of national pride. He further said they advance arguments that it is the foundation of any country. 

He added that, as Justice John Paul Stevens of the U.S. Supreme Court has said, “A country’s flag is a symbol of more than a nationhood and national unity,”. 

It also signifies the ideas that characterise the society that has chosen that emblem, as well as the special history that has animated the growth and power of those ideas in war-stricken countries during coups d’état. 

“Forces of regime change will relentlessly after defeating the government of the day, lower down the flag and put up a new one as a sign that the government of the day is overthrown,” said Mohlomi.

He added that, what became more interesting is the fact that there are many things that can be changed but these dictators would rush to change the flag, the question is why? Mohlomi said the DA knows the importance of a flag and what it represents.

“They also know why nations protect the flags so much. So, their advert is not a coincidence or a mistake. It is a deliberate attempt to urinate at the gains of democracy. To show a middle finger to the government and the people of South Africa. 

“In the apartheid era, desecration of a flag was illegal and sanctions were a fine or imprisonment. Surely, we should explicitly promulgate legislation on the flag desecration in South Africa,” he said.

Mohlomi said the Southern African Vexillological Association prescribes in the flag regulations ways in which flags must be treated. He said it further states disposal.

“When no longer in fit condition to be used. A flag should be disposed of in a dignified manner. Could the illustration of a banning flag mean that the DA feels that the flag’s time has expired? 

“Does this mean the DA doesn’t respect the flag? Or what could be lessons to be drawn from this treachery?” he said. 

Meanwhile, the Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture, Zizi Kodwa, shared the sentiments. Kodwa said they condemn in the strongest terms the political advertisement by the DA, which shows the burning of the South African flag.

Kodwa said: “On a night in which we celebrated 30 years of sporting excellence at the South African Sport Awards (SASA) with athletes who have raised our flag high, the DA decided to offend and insult the nation by showing a political advertisement depicting the burning of our national flag.

“The South African flag represents our nationhood. It represents the coming together of our people. The South African flag symbolises unity in our diversity and represents the hopes and aspirations of our nation,” he said. 

Kodwa said as a custodian of all national symbols, which include the South African flag, he strongly condemns the DA’s advertisement, which depicts the burning of the South African flag. He said this offends all South Africans who proudly raise our country’s flag sky high and appreciate its representation as the flag of a free, democratic and non-racial nation. 

“I shudder to think what other South African compatriots such as Hellen Suzman, Zack de Beer, and Van Zyl Slabbert, would say about this act of desperation and recklessness demonstrated by the current historical and unpatriotic leaders of DA,” said Kodwa.

A man who allegedly assaulted his own mother to apply for bail  


By OBAKENG MAJE 

A man (41) from Matolong village, near Taung who has been arrested for allegedly assaulting his own mother and contravention of a Protection Order under the Domestic Violence Act, 1998 (Act No. 116 of 1998) is expected to apply for bail at Taung Magistrate’s Court today.

On Thursday evening, Mpumelelo Thobela allegedly came home and demanded alcohol money from his mother. However, he allegedly assaulted and dragged her in the streets after she refused to give him money. 

The North West police spokesperson, Col Adele Myburgh said: “The incident occurred after a protection order was earlier granted against the suspect, who allegedly assaulted his niece. He was arrested on 3 May 2024, shortly after the incident was reported to the police. 

“The suspect will appear before the Taung Magistrate’s Court on Monday.”  

The North West Police Commissioner, Lieutenant General Sello Kwena, said it is sad that an elderly mother was allegedly attacked by her own son, who is supposed to protect her. Kwena condemned the incident in the strongest possible terms and said police will continue to protect the most vulnerable and bring the alleged perpetrators to book.   

Meanwhile, the Moral Regeneration Movement (MRM) in the North West said it is disappointed by the despicable and shameful act of Thobela. MRM Provincial Interim Committee Convener, Pastor Lesiba Kgwele commended the police for the culprit’s swift arrest.

“We are confident that the criminal justice system will send an unequivocal message that there is no place in our society for those who abuse and commit such atrocious acts against the most vulnerable in our society being the elderly and women. 

“Abuse of parents by their children is a sign of moral decay. So, we call on our communities to unite in action to reclaim Ubuntu as well as lost family and community values. The courageous step undertaken by the assaulted mother had demonstrated that the elderly do not have to suffer in silence,” he said. 

Kgwele further said the programme for the relaunch of MRM structures in districts and municipalities across the province, which was suspended due to the national and provincial elections and focus on promoting the Charter of Elections Ethics, will soon be expedited.

He added that this will ensure that intervention programmes targeted at the most vulnerable are implemented full steam in partnership with government, traditional leaders, churches and other civil society organisations.
