FLAG OF BOTSAWANA COLORS-BENDERA BOTSAWANA. The flag of Botswana was adopted on September 30, 1966. A flag is a light blue (sky blue) with a black stripe in the center with the white contours. The blue color represents water, a special form of rain.
The black and white stripes represent the racial harmony and zebras that sustain the national shield. It is one of the few African flags that utilizes neither the colours of the Pan-Africanist movement nor the colours of the country's leading political party.

FLAG OF BOTSAWANA

Before it gained independence, Botswana did not have its own distinctive colonial flag, with the Flag of the United Kingdom serving as the de facto flag of the protectorate. When Botswana's national flag was created in 1966, it was symbolically designed to contrast with the Flag of South Africa, since the latter country was ruled under an apartheid regime. Hence, the black stripe with the white frame came to epitomize the peace and harmony between the people of African and European descent who reside in Botswana. The new flag was first hoisted at midnight on September 30, 1966, the day Botswana became an independent country.
