Draw our flag
It's a potent symbol of unity and progress. It's the only six-coloured national flag in the world. It's also one of the youngest, yet whatever shape it takes - and it's taken more than any other national symbol - it's instantly recognisable to South Africans everywhere. Learn how to draw our flag!
 | Draw a rectangle in a proportion of 3 in the length to 2 in the width - 18cm x 12cm is a convenient size. |
 | Using a pencil, divide the rectangle into three equal horizontal stripes. |
 | Join the four corners with a diagonal cross. |
 | On each side of the diagonal cross, which provides the centre line in each case, draw parallel lines. The distance between each set of lines should be one third of the width of the flag. Join the various lines as shown. |
 | Within the V-shaped area, which extends from the corners at the flagpost to the outer edge of the fly, draw a series of parallel lines, the distance between which is in each case one-fifth the width of the flag. Join the appropriate lines as indicated and erase the remaining pencil lines. |
