HISTORY AND SYMBOLISM

Following a bitter parliamentary debate, the Union of South Africa adopted a new National flag on 31 May 1928. The colours chosen were those of the former flag of the Netherlands, the “Prinzenvlag”, consisting of three equal stripes of orange (top), white and blue. In the centre of the white stripe appeared the following three smaller flags (from hoist to fly): The British Union Flag (or Jack), the Orange Free State flag and the Transvaal (or formerly the Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek) flag.

The flag of the Orange Free State was depicted vertically so that the present-day Dutch flag was in the canton on the hoist side, whilst the British flag was shown with its hoist adjacent to the left of this, which has led to many (erroneous) comments over the years that it is upside-down. The reason for this unique arrangement was so that all the flags enjoyed equal status as in terms of vexillological protocol, the flag on the left is considered to be the most important and having the position of seniority.

The Union Jack represents the two former British possessions, the Cape Colony and Natal, whilst the two most dominant Boer Republics are represented by the Transvaal and Orange Free State flags.

This budget-friendly flag is imported and not manufactured in the USA.

The Orange Free State flag was positioned vertically so the Dutch flag appeared in the canton at the hoist, while the British flag sat to its left—an arrangement that has sparked debate about whether it's inverted. This unique positioning ensured all three flags held equal status; in vexillological tradition, the leftmost flag carries the highest honor and seniority.
