Thembani Hastings Mqhayi, who claims to have designed the South African flag, has issued an ultimatum to Minister Gayton McKenzie, demanding recognition or facing legal action.

Minister McKenzie challenges Mqhayi's claims about the South African flag design, revealing crucial differences in original submissions.
