Flag
Description
two equal width horizontal bands of red (top) and blue separated
by a central green band that splits into a horizontal Y, the
arms of which end at the corners of the hoist side; the Y
embraces a black isosceles triangle from which the arms are
separated by narrow yellow bands; the red and blue bands are
separated from the green band and its arms by narrow white
stripes; the flag colors do not have any official symbolism,
but the Y stands for the "convergence of diverse elements
within South African society, taking the road ahead in unity";
black, yellow, and green are found on the flag of the African
National Congress, while red, white, and blue are the colors
in the flags of the Netherlands and the UK, whose settlers
ruled South Africa during the colonial era
note: the South African flag is one of only two national flags
to display six colors as part of its primary design, the other
is South Sudan's |
