About 80 years ago Most people talked Dutch here. My moms grandparents were dutch and my dads side. If you look at Books it was written in dutch and the Bible. This week i played with a Dutch and we Laughed cause i didn't know he was dutch and he sneezed and i said Askies and he laughed and said op gesondheid and he started speaking dutch but i stopped him quickly.

The red St. Patrick’s cross within the Union Jack actually represented the island of Ireland (from 1801 to 1922) whilst Northern Ireland itself has no official flag since 1973 (after the Ulster Banner was abolished). To be honest, the UK should revert it’s flag back to the pre-1801 flag

Under this flag, South Africa fought against and defeated Nazi Germany, instigated apartheid, ended apartheid, broke away from the British Empire and became a republic, built and destroyed their nuclear arsenal, something no other country has done. It's not a perfect history, but what country has a perfect history? I acknowledge it represents different things for different people,but instead of throwing the baby out with the bathwater, i hope history will judge it objectively for the good and bad things done under its banner.

@Albert Retief Jy is geregtig op jou opinie. Maar van ek klein was, was ek mal oor die vlag. 1) Die prinsevlag - want dis ons erfenis. Maar nie net dit nie, orange saam met blou is n besonder mooi kombinasie, en terwyl daar baie vlae is wat rooi-wit-blou is, en n groot klompie wat oranje-wit-groen is, was ons die enigte land ter wereld met daardie drie kleure, wat die vlag uniek gemaak het in die wêreld. Buitendien, meeste vlae in die wêreld vandag is geinspireer deur n ander vlag. Kyk net hoeveel slawiese vlae volg die russiese vlag. 2) Drie vlae - dit was n kompromie besluit wat ek dink heel goed gedoen is. Weereens iets wat ons vlag uniek in die wêreld gemaak het. Daarby is n eenvoudige driekleur met iets in die middel vir my een van die mooiste vlagontwerpe. Ek dink onmiddelik aan Argentinië en Indië. 3) My voorkeur vir die ou vlag het niks met die np te doen nie. In 1994 was ek 14 en naief, en ek kon nie verstaan waarom die vlag moet verander net omdat die regering verander het nie. Die vlag was n staatsimbool, en was gesien as verhewe bo politiek. Dis eers na 1994 wat sekere mense aan die linkerkant van die politieke spektrum toenemend die vlag sleg gemaak het as n politieke simbool. Maar nou ja, smaak verskil, ek het begrip daarvoor.

[@TheRozair]

@Sam • What about the border between Europe and Africa then? Migration is a fenomen that occurs frequently in human history. Within Europe, but also outside of it. A large chunk of the European gene pool can be attributed to a people from Russia. Also, Spain was once inhabited by many Scandinavians, as was North-Africa. Later, the Moroccans conquered Spain and this altered Spain as well. And in the case of the Boers we're talking about a people and not an invading army. Or would you suggest a group of farmers with wagons, women and children and their modest belonings were a "colonial power"? That's absurd. Don't be a hypocrit. You dislike the Afrikaners because they are white. And now you want the black South Africans to take the buildings and infrastructure the Afrikaners caused to exist. It's theft. Jealousy.

[@glenblignaut9977]

[@ATIMELINEOFAVIATION]

Ik this is negatively associated with the despicable Apartheid regime, but it’s just such a great song. It talks about the beauty of this country: the seas, the skies, the plains. It embodies the heritage of Afrikaners, a history and language that I am deeply fascinated with. It talks about life: the four seasons, a simple living, and nature. It is a beautiful prayer to God, and tells a story. Ofc, the current South African national anthem is also beautiful, combined with Nkosi Sikelel iAfrika. But this isn’t a racist song. It’s a wonderful piece of music, that is so much more than just a national anthem. God bless South Africa. ❤🇿🇦
