News bot Posted November 24, 2016 Share The 2016 cycling season concluded a couple of weeks ago and once again it has been an incredibly successful one for Africa’s leading professional cycling team. Based out of Johannesburg, Dimension Data for Qhubeka managed to win 32 races this year, while climbing the podium more than 70 times. 5 stage wins, a "Yellow“ and "Green Jersey“ at the Tour de France was also among the achievements as was the team’s first ever win in a special category at a Grand Tour, taking home the "Best Climber“ classification of the Vuelta a Espana.Click here to view the article nonky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted November 24, 2016 Share Flag is wrong on the photo?it's correct - trust me. Read this if you want to know why.SA is not the only country that applies this rule - Aus, USA, and others. The flag should never be depicted, displayed or flown upside down. Flying a flag upside down is the traditional sign of surrender! When displayed horizontally, the black triangle should be to your left and the red band uppermost. http://www.southafrica.info/cm_pics/ess_info/690-1823-2661-0_173844.jpgWhen draped vertically, a flag should not merely be rotated through 90 degrees, but also reversed. In the case of the South African flag, the black triangle must be uppermost and the red band to your left. (One "reads" a flag like the pages of a book – from top to bottom and from left to right – and after rotation the results should be the same.)Read more: http://www.southafrica.info/about/history/flagguide.htm#.WDbsjtX5jZY#ixzz4QvvDA218 Edited November 24, 2016 by geraldm24 shaper and Long Wheel Base 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irritates me when I see someone holding the flag at a sports event and it's upside down, or the wrong way.
