The old South African flag represented the Afrikaaners and the contribution they made to establishment and creation of independent South Africa in 1915. Similar to the Confederate Flag in the United States, the old South African flag has basically become a symbol of racial discrimination to the black population of the country. It is only endorsed by a handful of Afrikaaners today because most recognize the negative emotions that most South Africans (the Blacks) attach to it.
