KwaZulu-Natal flag

Up to September 1995 none of the 9 new South African provinces have adopted their own flags although one or two have proposals in this regard. There is currently a debate in this country as to whether the provinces should have their own flags or not with the ruling ANC holding the view that the provinces should not have individual flags.
Bruce Berry September 1995

There are discussions for a flag for the new province of KwaZulu-Natal. A provincial constitution has been tabled before the Constitutional Court but has been referred back for further amendment. This is the most critical issue and the question of a provincial flag (or Arms) has not received much attention over the past 18 months.
Bruce Berry, 19 February 1998

The South African government page on state symbols (which is mirrored on the ANC-site) lists under "current flags" a KwaZulu-Natal Flag; that flag is nearly identical to the one here. That flag is of the former homeland KwaZulu, which ceased to exist on 27 April 1994. It seems to me that the flag is in use (perhaps unofficially) as the KwaZulu-Natal flag.

There is still no new provincial flag, or Arms, for KwaZulu-Natal.  All the other provinces in South Africa have adopted new provincial arms and only one, Mpumalanga, has a provincial flag.  The old KwaZulu homeland flag is not used, even unofficially.
