The History Of Botswana Flag For The Future

By Ben Dolling


The Republic of Botswana shares a common border with South Africa in the South, Namibia in the west and north, Zimbabwe in the east, and Zambia in the North. The earliest inhabitants of Botswana were the San and Khoe societies. These societies were later joined by the Batswana societies who moved to the areas around 1000 years ago. It is also around this period that large chiefdoms known as Toutswe in the area of Sowa pan and Tswapong hills developed.

Perhaps the most significant development in Botswana's long history was the evolution of the three main branches of the Tswana tribe during the 14th century. It's a typical tale of family discord, where three brothers " Kwena, Ngwaketse and Ngwato " broke away from their father, Chief Malope, to establish their own followings in Molepolole, Kanye and Serowe respectively. Realistically, these fractures probably occurred in response to drought and expanding populations eager to strike out in search of new pastures and arable land.

Botswana's national flag was adopted on September 30, 1966. Blue with a black horizontal band across the center with white fimbriation is the flag's design. The blue color represents water specifically the rain.

It came from the motto on the Botswana coat-of-arms, which is Pula, the Setswana word for "let there be rain". The black and white bands represent racial harmony and it refers to zebras that support the nation's coat of arms.

The banner can be recognized alongside other nation banners in light of its basic configuration. When you see a banner with a blue base shading and a white strip, encompassing a thicker dark strip, the main thing that can come up to a man that has recently seen a group of banners is that it is the banner of the nation Botswana.

Something else that makes the banner of Botswana one of a kind is a result of the way that it has no ensigns and logos to it. The vast majority of the banners on the planet have such. For the special events, the Flag Company Inc invented beautiful decals and flags for the history support.
