прапор: Південно-Африканська Республікаflag: South Africa
This is the flag of the Republic of South Africa, known as the 'Rainbow Nation'. It symbolises the unity of its diverse races and cultures.
The horizontal 'Y' shape represents different cultures merging into one and moving forward together. You probably saw it a lot during the South Africa World Cup.
This flag was adopted in 1994 after the end of apartheid, the policy of racial segregation. It signifies moving beyond past divisions and into a new era of unity.
While the six colours don't have officially defined meanings, they include colours from past Dutch and British flags, as well as the flag of the African National Congress (ANC), showing an effort to embrace all citizens. It's a symbol imbued with President Nelson Mandela's spirit of forgiveness and reconciliation.
