Flag of South Africa - Proper Display of The Flag

Proper Display of The Flag

The South African government published rules for proper display of the flag at designated flag stations, in Government Notice 510 of 8 June 2001 (Gazette number 22356). These rules apply only to official flag stations and not to the general public.

The Southern African Vexillological Association (SAVA), a non-official association for the study of flags, published their own guide for proper display of the flag in 2002. This guide has no official authority but was drawn up with global vexillological principles in mind.

Famous quotes containing the words proper, display and/or flag:

    Children ... seldom have a proper sense of their own tragedy, discounting and keeping hidden the true horrors of their short lives, humbly imagining real calamity to be some prestigious drama of the grown-up world.
    Shirley Hazzard (b. 1931)

    I have a mind myself and recognize
    Mind when I meet with it in any guise.
    No one can know how glad I am to find
    On any sheet the least display of mind.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Hath not the morning dawned with added light?
    And shall not evening call another star
    Out of the infinite regions of the night,
    To mark this day in Heaven? At last, we are
    A nation among nations; and the world
    Shall soon behold in many a distant port
    Another flag unfurled!
    Henry Timrod (1828–1867)
