flag: South Africa

The flag of South Africa consists of six colors. It features a distinctive Y-shaped design and has been in use since 1994.

This flag was created when Nelson Mandela became president. It represents the 'Rainbow Nation' where various races live together.

On the flag, red symbolizes blood and sacrifice, blue represents the sky and sea, green represents the land, black represents the African people, yellow represents natural resources, and white represents peace. The Y-shape symbolizes the integration of various cultures.

South Africa overcame apartheid, a racial segregation policy, and developed into a multiracial democratic nation. It hosted the 2010 World Cup and has grown into Africa's economic and cultural powerhouse, carrying on Nelson Mandela's spirit of peace. The country is also famous for its rich mineral resources, including diamonds and gold.
