Botswana National Flag

The national flag of Botswana is composed of a central black stripe, with two thin white stripes on either side. There are also two large blue bands on either side which make up the majority of the flag. The black and white stripes represent the equality, harmony and cooperation between the diverse range of races within Botswana. The large light blue sections symbolise a rare yet vital resource in Botswana, water. It is also said that this colour represents the sky. This flag was adopted as the national flag of Botswana on the 30^th of December 1966. On this date, Bechuanaland gained independence from the British Empire becoming the nation of Botswana.

The country of Botswana is a landlocked nation, located in the southern region of the African continent. It is located to the north of South Africa and east of Namibia. Botswana also shares borders with Zimbabwe and Zambia. The Botswana and Zambia border is one of the shortest in the world, measuring 157 meters. The capital Gaborne is located in the south of the nation not too far from the Botswana and South Africa border. Botswana is approximately 581,730km²  with about 5.4 million people living there. A large proportion of the population speak SeTswana which is the traditional language of the Tswana people. However, English is recognised as the official language of Botswana. The largest inland delta in the world can be found in Botswana and is known as the Okavango Delta.
