Freedom Day: Artist demands recognition as the true designer of SA flag
On Freedom Day, artist Thembani Hastings Mqhayi renewed his claim that he designed South Africa's national flag—one of the country's most powerful symbols of democracy. Freedom Day commemorates the first post-apartheid elections held on this day in 1994, and the day on which the new constitution was introduced. On the same day, South Africa's current national flag was officially adopted, replacing the Oranje, Blanje, Blou of the apartheid government. According to IOL , Mqhayi has now written to Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture, Gayton McKenzie, requesting formal talks over the current flag's original design. If the Ministry refuses to engage, Mqhayi says he will take legal action by the end of May. This is not the first time Mqhayi has taken his claim to the authorities. In 2022, he filed papers in the Pretoria High Court against then-Minister Nathi Mthethwa and the State Herald. Mqhayi maintains that the late Frederick Brownell, who officially designed the flag and served as State Herald from 1982 to 2002, plagiarised his submissions. Brownell, who passed away in 2019, was widely celebrated for his role in creating the flag adopted after apartheid. Mqhayi's spokesperson Bandile Magibili has told broadcaster Newzroom Afrika that Mqhayi not is just claiming, but actually owns the design. 'I think the word of claiming is overused,' said Magibili. 'The design of the flag of the country is indeed Mr Thembani Hastings Mqhayi's design. We did make a couple of submissions.' 'As you may be aware, we invited Minister Gayton McKenzie and his departmenr to be part of this interview, and they refused.' Mqhayi says he submitted five original flag designs in early 1994 after a public call by Nelson Mandela for citizens to help create a flag for the new South Africa. He asserts one of his designs was used, but says he no longer has copies because he mailed them through the East London Post Office and did not keep duplicates.

Oranje 100-club beckons for Memphis
Oranje 100-club beckons for Memphis Following superb form in Brazil with Corinthians, Memphis Depay is back with the Dutch national team. This means that the headband-toting forward can reach a wonderful milestone, as if he plays both the home and away Nations League matches against Spain, he will have played a hundred international matches. If successful, the 31-year-old would become the 10th international to achieve this feat. Daley Blind was the last international to join the 100 club, playing his 100th international match on 24 March 2023 in the 4-0 defeat to France. The defender eventually ended up with 108 international matches before announcing his retirement from the international game. Advertisement If Memphis only takes to the pitch once, he will still be the first international to get playing time for the Oranje while playing for a Brazilian club. Brazil would be the 21st different country where an active Dutch international plays or has played. Brazil will join the list of countries that have also seen one club give up an international to the Netherlands, with these including Canada, Greece, Mexico, Ukraine, Qatar, Russia, Saudi Arabia, the United States and Wales. In England, 31 different clubs have provided internationals to the Dutch national team, more than Spain and Italy combined. GBeNeFN | Max Bradfield
