As of May 2019, the Malian Army is starting to use this vehicle. Please adapt the relevant parts of this article. Thanks! https://www.bmvg.de/de/aktuelles/eutm-mali-ausbildung-am-casspir-51124 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.63.253.221 ( talk) 09:03, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
The vehicle was developed when South Africa had a different flag. Shouldn't that flag be used? Or too controversial? If controversial, does wikipedia stay away from controversy or addresses it? I don't have a strong opinion, just a slight one. Polounit 03:03, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Umm. there is a good reason. The Casspir was developed and went into service under the pre-94 government. The flag currently on the article is historically incorrect. I've seen this sort of small edit before on South African related articles. Are there some folks who go around "scrubbing" wikipedia of any use of the old South African flag?
To head off those who use the excuse that the vehicle is still in service I offer the following. Yes, it's true the Casspir is still in service with the SADF today. But that is meaningless as far as we are concerned. Look at the various articles that relate to WW2 era vehicles and weapons that were produced by the Germans. Even on articles relating to kit that was used by various countires (including the new German armed forces post-war) the flag at the time of initial production is used rather than the current flag. Please don't alter this as it is politically motivated vanadalism to do so. User:Hal Turner fan 0756, 5 March 2012 (CST)
And I call it as I see it. You should take care about your "your just a newbie and thus don't know anything" comment. It's both insulting and factually incorrect as I have been editing Wiki articles for a number of years as an unregistered user. In any event, might I propose a compromise. The origin of the Casspir is indisputably under the pre-1994 government and thw 1921 flag. Let's use that flag in the "origin" portion of the article and leave the ANC flag for the current user section. Is that better? User:Hal Turner fan 1750, 6 March 2012 (CST)
Please don't play games. You know what I refer to. "ANC flag" simply meant the flag of the nation under the post 1994 ANC dominated government. I'm very well aware that there is a difference between the flags of the organization and the new national flag of South Africa. In any event, the option proposed by "Claidheamhmor" might be the best solution to this issue. User:Hal Turner fan 1522, 7 March 2012 (CST)
