Flag Meaning

The Y-shaped design symbolizes the convergence of diverse elements in South African society, uniting as one moving forward. Known as the 'Rainbow Flag', it represents the country's transition from apartheid to democracy. The flag deliberately avoids specific color symbolism to allow all South Africans to identify with it, embodying the motto 'Unity in Diversity'.
