South African Flag - Symbol of Unity and Democracy #2996522 (License: Personal Use)

The flag of South Africa features horizontal bands of red (top), white, and blue, intersected by a green isosceles triangle extending from the hoist, bordered by narrow yellow and black bands. Adopted on April 27, 1994-the day of the country’s first democratic elections-it symbolizes the transition from apartheid to a unified, multiracial democracy. Its design intentionally avoids historical colonial symbols, instead embracing inclusivity and forward-looking unity.
