The Nelson Mandela Foundation applied to the court to declare the display of the old flag hate speech.

It argued its display constitutes unfair discrimination and harassment based on race.

AfriForum challenged the move, saying this is a violation of freedom of speech.

Mojapelo determined that the court order applied nationally and not just in Gauteng.
