Did you mean that the old flag was meant to be a racist symbol? If so you'd best brush up on history as that flag predates apartheid by 20 years. In fact black South African soldiers fought the nazis under that very flag in the deserts of Egypt during world war 2. It has become associated with apartheid in the recent past but was never conceived as "an apartheid symbol". The afrikaner nationalists actually hated it when it was first introduced in 1928 because it featured the hated union flag of the British. That said I do believe that it really has no place being displayed in any public space outside of a museum due to the aforementioned modern association with apartheid.
