Name That Flag!

 

Do you know which country this flag belongs to?

Hint: it’s the country of a famous political leader who recently passed away

Answer: South Africa

Here’s the meaning of the flag according to South African History Online:

“The national flag was designed by a former South African State Herald, Mr Fred Brownell, and was first used on 27 April 1994. The design and colours are a synopsis of principal elements of the country’s flag history. Individual colours, or colour combinations have different meanings for different people and therefore no universal symbolism should be attached to any of the colours.

“The central design of the flag, beginning at the flagpost in a “V” form and flowing into a single horizontal band to the outer edge of the fly, can be interpreted as the convergence of diverse elements within South African society, taking the road ahead in unity. The theme of convergence and unity ties in with the motto “Unity is Strength” of the previous South African Coat of Arms.”
