History With Hilbert | What Happened to the Old South African Flag? @historywithhilbert | Uploaded March 2024 | Updated October 2024, 8 hours ago.
South Africa's flag has 6 colours on it, while its former flag had 7-9 flags... within the flag. So what's the history and symbolism behind the flags used in South Africa from 1910-2024? There'll be Dutchmen, British, Boers, Afrikaners, South Africans, Stroopwafels and memes in this one!
