Description of the flag

South Kasai was a secessionist region in the area of eastern Congo (Zaire). Its flag was something like horizontally red-green or green-red with a large yellow 'V'. [smi75]. The yellow letter V on the green-red flag of South Kasai was for Victory.

The flag was used approximately from 1960-1962. The state of South Kasai was proclaimed in June 1960 by tribal chief Albert Kalonji.

This flag is listed under number 6 at the chart Flags of Aspirant Peoples [asp] as: «South Kasai (Independent state, 1960-62) - Zaire». The State of South Kasai lasted from 9 August 1960 to 2 October 1962. Ruled by President (later King), it was officially known as the Mining State because of its diamonds and other precious materials.
