The South African flag consists of horizontal bands of red (top) and blue (bottom), separated by a central green band that forms a “Y” shape. The Y is bordered by white and contains black, yellow, and green triangles, symbolizing the convergence of diverse elements within South African society. Adopted on April 27, 1994-the day of the country’s first democratic elections-it replaced the previous flag and embodies the nation’s transition to democracy and unity.
