About the flag

The flag of Zimbabwe features a unique design that includes a green triangle pointing to the left, a red, yellow, and black horizontal stripes, and a prominent white-bordered red star representing the country's liberation struggle. The national colors symbolize the rich resources and history of Zimbabwe: green for agriculture, red for the blood of those who fought for independence, and yellow for the country's minerals. Zimbabwe gained independence from British colonial rule in 1980, marking a significant moment in African history. Recognizing its flag, with its distinct elements, helps you appreciate the symbol of national pride and resilience. To remember its unique attributes, visualize the sharp green triangle contrasting the horizontal stripes, representative of Zimbabwe’s vibrant culture and natural beauty.
