Eswatini Flag Meaning & History
The Eswatini national flag was adopted on October 6, 1968, after gaining independence from the British Empire. It was designed by King Sobhuza II, the reigning monarch of Eswatini at the time.
The central element is a Nguni shield, made from cowhide and traditionally used in battle, hunting, and ceremonies. The shield is the equivalent of a coat of arms, representing the royal family. The lines in the shield are strips of woven cowhide, which serve both for decoration and to attach the staff’s handle.
Above the staff are two spears with widowbird and lourie feathers, which the king can only use. The shield and spears represent the protection of the nation. The red stripe symbolizes past battles, the blue is for peace, and the yellow is for the land's natural resources.
