An Eastern Cape artist who claims to be the
rightful designer of South Africa's flag has dragged Sport,
Arts and Culture Minister Nathi Mthethwa to the Gauteng
High Court in Pretoria to compel him to provide details of
how the flag was created. Thembani Hastings Mqhayi
has for years claimed the man credited for the design of
the flag, Frederick Brownell, stole his designs and
submitted them as his own. We now speak to Mqhayi. We
reached out to the Department of Arts and Culture and
they declined to comment.
