The flag of South Africa
The colorful and become quite well known South African flag was introduced on 04.27.1994. It was designed by Fred Brownell, and reflects her Farbenfröhlichkeit the diversity of the country in every respect. When was the introduction of the new flag in 1994 to realize an explanation of the symbolism of the colors omitted, this should be left to the viewer. The design and color are a summary of the history of Flag of South Africa. The colors and the combination of colors is aware but do not have a special symbolism. The central green stripe running together in the form of a horizontal “Y” symbolizing the newfound unity of the country after the end of apartheid. “Unity is Strength” is the motto of the flag. The green also stands for the country itself and for hope. Red, white and blue are the colors of the white population, so the Boers and the former colonial power Britain. The red stands next to the blood that was spilled during the liberation struggle, the two oceans, and blue for the sky and the white for the white population and for peace. Black, green and yellow are the colors of the African movements, such as the African National Congress (ANC) and Inkatha Freedom Party, as well as in Africa. Here, the black represents the black majority, the green of the natural resources and the yellow (or gold) for the mineral wealth.
