I took this picture at the V&A Waterfront on Sunday afternoon. I believe ours is the only national flag in the world that features 6 colours - this, coupled with its relative youth (the new flag was first flown in 1994, the year of Nelson Mandela's inaugauration as president) means that most South Africans over the age of 30 would probably not be able to draw the flag correctly if asked. It's a wonderful symbol of our "rainbow nation" though, don't you think?
