[QUOTE="Steve-o, post: 230084"] You know the Springbok emblem has actually been revamped several times already. From 1906 to around 1995 the Springbok was jumping to the left, but the ANC that it symbolizes 'looking to the past'. So they swapped it around. Ok... Then the they said that the Springbok over the Protea flower represents dominance over black people (the Protea was the symbol used for the black national rugby team). That was around 1999 I think. And now we're at the current emblem with the Protea above the Springbok but they say the Protea has to be bigger than the Springbok. [/QUOTE]
