The flag of South Africa between 1928 and 1994 was the flag of the Union of South Africa and its successor state, the Republic of South Africa. It was also used in South-West Africa (now Namibia) when the territory was under South African rule. Based on the Dutch Prince's Flag, it contained the flag of the United Kingdom, the flag of the Orange Free State and the flag of the South African Republic in the centre.[1] It was nicknamed Oranje, Blanje, Blou (Afrikaans: 'orange, white, blue').[2] It was adopted in 1928 by an act of Parliament from the first Afrikaner majority government and was replaced by the current flag of South Africa in 1994 with the commencement of the republic's transitional constitution and end of apartheid.
