The National Flag

The Black represents for us the dedication of the people joined together by one strong bond. It is
the colour of strength, of unity of purpose, and of the wealth of the land. Red is the colour most
expressive of our country; it represents the vitality of the land and its peoples; it is the warmth
and energy of the sun, the courage and friendliness of the people. White is the sea by which these
lands are bound; the cradle of our heritage; the purity of our aspirations and the equality of men
and women under the sun.
