Bongi’s flag collection · South Africa

Hello, South Africa!

Our Kruger Big Five adventure starts here. Look carefully at the flag, then bring its colours to your own explorer page.

Six colours. One flag.

South African flag: red on top, blue below, a green Y with white edges, and a black triangle with a gold border on the left.

Keep red at the top and the black triangle on the left. Leave the white bands uncoloured!

South Africa sits at the southern tip of Africa. Find it on your African Adventure Map!

A flag for a new chapter

This flag was first used on 27 April 1994. It was designed by Fred Brownell.

Coming together

See how two arms join into one green band? This can remind us of different people coming together and moving forward.

Your explorer mission

  1. Use this colour reference to colour the flag on your printed activity page.
  2. Ask a grown-up to help you cut along the outside edge.
  3. Find South Africa’s flag space on your African Adventure Map and glue your flag into place.

Bongi’s challenge: Can you name all six colours without looking?
