Flag of Transvaal

Flag of Transvaal

The Flag of Transvaal is the flag of the former Transvaal province of South Africa. Its origin can be traced back to the flag of the historic "Transvaal Republic", officially called the South African Republic.

The flag features three horizontal stripes of red, white, and blue (recalling the Dutch national flag), with a vertical green stripe at the hoist, and was known as the "Vierkleur" (lit. "four colours"). The former national flag of South Africa (from 1927—1994) had, as part of a feature contained within its central white bar, a horizontal flag of the Transvaal Republic.
