In the colors of the Flag of South Africa, red means the blood of the people, blue represents the sky, black and white colors signify the black and white races, green represents the forests and yellow is the gold found in its territory . The shape of “Y” in the flag expresses an important symbolic meaning, which is the representation of opposing lines that intersect to follow the same path. Taking into account the end of apartheid, this symbol brings the idea that whites and blacks, initially separate and distinct, unite to move together.
