Flag of Botswana
From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.
The national flag of Botswana was adopted on September 30, 1966. The flag is light blue with a black horizontal band across the centre, with a white border. The stripes are in 9:1:4:1:9 ratio. The blue colour stands for water, specifically rain, and comes from the motto on the Botswanan coat of arms that states "Pula", the Tswanan word for "Let there be rain". The white and black bands stand for racial harmony. Their colours are also the arms' supporters': zebras.
