South African Flag - Official National Flag of the Republic of South Africa #2172918 (License: Personal Use)

The flag of South Africa, adopted on April 27, 1994, at the end of apartheid, combines six colors-red, white, blue, black, yellow, and green-in a distinctive Y-shaped design. The central green “Y” represents the convergence of diverse elements within South African society, while the black triangle bordered by yellow signifies the people, and the red, white, and blue evoke historical flags of the region without endorsing past divisions. Its modern, inclusive symbolism reflects the nation’s commitment to democracy and reconciliation.
