The South African flag is the only flag with six colours in the world. The colourful South African flag was first flown on the day Nelson Mandela became president in 1994. On 27 April 1994, the first free elections were held in South Africa after the long years of apartheid.
During the apartheid, the black people were kept apart from white people and were denied the right to vote for the president. There were places black people could not visit, benches where only whites were allowed sit on or schools only white children could visit.
