Hoist the SA flag as a sign of protest

During the protest marches many people were waiving South African flags as a sign of claiming back their country from the Zuptas. My idea is that many South Africans make this form of protest permanently visible by hoisting a flag on their house or car. This should allow also the silent majority of SA citizens to show their disagreement with Zuma’s ANC.

As much as the SA flag is a neutral symbol for all South Africans, the simultaneous mass hoisting of SA flags would send a strong message that South African don’t tolerate the state capture that we are currently experiencing. ANC politicians would see on a day-by-day basis a growing number of dissenting citizens hoisting their SA flag as a sign of protest.

We need to roll out this form of continued protest nationwide, ideally before the date when parliament debates the vote of no-confidence in the President.
