The green Y-shape is separated from the red and blue stripes by a white side, and the black triangle is separated by a yellow side. The three colors of black, green and yellow are derived from the flag of the African National Congress, while red, white and blue represent the Boers. The flag uses six colors, representing a multi-ethnic country. The fusion of the Y character into a single shape symbolizes the meaning of 'national integration'.
