Adopted | 23 February 1996 |
The provincial flag of Mpumalanga was adopted in 1996, making the province the first of South Africa's nine provinces to make use of an official provincial flag.[1] The other provinces currently use the province's coat of arms on a white background (except for Western Cape which uses a banner of arms). The design also features in the province's coat of arms.[citation needed]
Design
The canton of the flag is dominated by a stylised red Barberton daisy, a plant which is indigenous to the province. The diagonal strip of blue and white separating the green and gold bars is meant to represent the escarpment of the province's topology.
