The design of the flag of the former flag of the Kavango
homeland in
"The Kavango Flag shall be green with three horizontal stripes of equal
width in the centre which from top to bottom shall be orange, white and blue.
The width of the Kavango flag shall be equal to two-thirds of its length.
The width of the three horizontal stripes shall be one-sixth of the width of
the flag".
Kavango is relatively well-watered, in contrast to much of the remainder of the
country. Consequently the area is greener and this is the explanation for the
predominance of green on the flag. The orange, white and blue stripes link this
flag with the principal colours of the former South
African national flag.
Kavango was re-incorporated into Namibia at independence
on 21 March 1990 and this flag is no longer in use.
