The South African flag was designed in 1994 to symbolize the country's transition to democracy after years of apartheid. Its unique design, featuring various colors and shapes, represents the diverse cultures and unity of the nation. The flag's colors—black, green, yellow, white, red, and blue—reflect the historical and cultural heritage of South Africa. Overall, it serves as a powerful emblem of hope and reconciliation for all South Africans.

It is only endorsed by a handful of Afrikaaners today because most recognize the negative emotions that most South Africans (the Blacks) attach to it.
