Mark Oppenheimer is quite frankly being disingenuous. Courts are allowed to interpret the meaning of any legislature away from the letter of the law if following the written word pedantically results in an absurdity -which is clearly the case in this instance. It is clear that if one needs to make an interpretation in this regard one needs to look at upholding the spirit, purport and objects of the constitution. Only a fool would believe that the display of a flag, which is highly offensive (hateful) to all, other then to the whites of South Africa, would be consistent with the spirit, purport and objects of the constitution. Precedent is meaningless if it is inconsistent with the constitution, and should be declared invalid. Quoting Nelson Mandela, does not prove correctness. He was merely a human being, therefore capable of being flawed in his opinion. Furthermore, if the gratuitous display of the old South African flag is of no consequence, then why defend this action?

In the sense that the Apartheid regime perpetuated and promoted white supremacy and the inferiority of people of colour; I would agree that the old flag wouldn’t be offensive to white people. However, that should not be construed as support by whites of the display of the old flag, or that all whites would agree that such display is an exercise of the freedom of speech to which they’re constitutionally entitled.

He appears to be using buddha and the eastern symbols as a means to his defense. He is taking the symbol out of context because the issue is with the use of the symbol in the country he is in which may have a different meaning. The case is not in Germany, or the east, but in Africa.

There's a lot of reference to the east and the west, as if they are both in Africa fighting one another and using the Africans to build their empires, why?

Why is he referencing the east and Germany as their defense and then claim they are against communism and socialism?
