The flag of South Africa was created and designed in March 1994 and accepted on 27 April 1994, at the start of South Africa's 1994 overall election, to substitute the flag that had been used since 1928. The new South Africa Flag was intended by the then State Herald of South Africa Frederick Brownell, was selected to signify the country's new democracy after the end of apartheid.
The flag has flat stripes of red (on the top) and blue (on the bottom), of equivalent width, unglued by a central green group which splits into a flat. Flag of South Africa has the "Y" that holds a black isosceles triangle from which the arms are detached by narrow yellow stripes; the red and blue stripes are separated from the green posse and its arms by narrow white bands. The bands at the fly finish are in the 5:1:3:1:5 ratio.
As per to official South African government info, the South African flag is "a outline of principal basics of the republic's flag history." Although dissimilar people may quality personal representation to the separate colors or combinations, "no worldwide representation should be devoted to any of the colors." The only allegory in the flag is the V or Y form. From time to time clarifications of the meanings or representation of the flag's colors are available in various media, counting official government publications and languages by government officials. Three of the colors — black, green and yellow — are found in the flag of the African National assembly.
At the time of its acceptance, the South African flag was the only state flag in the world to include six colors in its main design and without a seal and brocade. The design and colors are a rundown of principal elements of the country's flag past. The colors themselves have no vital meaning.
