South Africa Flag Meaning & History
The current flag of South Africa was adopted on April 27, 1994, the same day as the first general election that included the entire population. It was based on a design by State Herald Fred Brownell and was initially intended only as a temporary national flag. In 1995, the Constitutional Assembly decided not to change the design.
The green “Y” shape on the flag represents the convergence of all parts of South African society and their unity. The colors green, red, white, and blue are taken from the Vierkleur, an early Boer flag. The black and gold symbolize the region’s natural resources and minerals.

Flag Meaning: The black, yellow, and green colors represent the African National Congress. The black represents the African people, the green is for the land, and the yellow stands for the mineral abundance of the soil. Other than that, the colors of the flag have no true meaning.
