Answer 2

South African flags have always has strong influence of red, white and blue. The current Rainbow Flag combined these three colours with the three prominent colours of the African liberation movements, such as Inkhata, the ANC and PAC. The Dutch tricolor flew over the Cape from 1652* till 1795 with the first British occupation when the Union Flag (1601-1801) replaced the flag ov the VOC (Dutch East-India Company), which had their cypher on the Dutch flag. Each chamber of the DEIC had its initial over the VOC cypher, and so too the Caab, with a C. The Batavian Republic's flag must have flown in the Cape from 1803 to 1806, when the Colony was ceded back after the British protectorate ended with the Treaty of Amiens, but this is not proved or disproved. In 1806 the British annexed the Cape at the Battle of Blaauwberg, and so the Union Jack as we know it was hoisted in South Africa. The Dutch tricolor was also the flag hoisted with the 'independent' republics at Swellendam (18. 06. 1795 tot 27. 10. 1795) and Graaff-Reinet (06. 02. 1795 tot 29. 10. 1795), when they rebelled at their Dutch colonial masters. These republics were short-lived, however, as the French Revolution finally reached these distant shores and Britain seized the Cape. In 1836 Cape Dutch aggravation toward the British led to the Great Trek, and these pioneers left the colony in their thousands under the Voortrekker flag, a red saltire on a blue field. This was later the flag of the Boer (as the Voortrekkers became known) republic of Potchefstroom (1837-48) and later when it amalgamated with the republic of Winburg (1836-44) to forn the Winburg Potchefstroom Republic (1844-45) and also with Zoutpansberg as the Andries Ohrigstad Republic (1845-49)It differed slightly when a white fimbriation was added to the saltire. It is not known if the Lydenburg Republic (1856-60) flew a flag, although it might also have been this one, as all the Voortrekkers left for the 'promised land' under it. Utrecht (1854-58) flew a flag, though The New Republic of Vrijheid, or Freedom, (1884-88) flew a flag based on the Transvaal Vierkleur, a modivied Dutch design itself. It was red, white and green with a blue hoist, till it was incorporated in to the Transvaal. The Transvaal (1856-1902) had a Dutch tricolor with a green hoist. Little Free State (1896-91) flew a flag indentical to Transvaal, save the green as lighter and not as rich. The Orange Free State (1852-1902) has a flag with bands alternating white and orange, symbolising the Orange river and William III of Orange, who granted the Flag, and a Dutch tricolor in the canton. Natalia (1839-43) flew a flag of three triangles in the dutch colours. This became the basis of the South African Presidential flag in 1983. Also the British-based nation-states had variour flags. Most British protectorates and territiories in southern Africa flew the Union Jack, but the Digger's Republic (1870) flew a white flah with a Union Jack juxtaposed and a diamond-design ad 'FREE REPUBLIC'. Later it took on the form of an ensign with two horses, playing on the love of President Parker for horses. (Goshen (1882-83) flew a flag similar to the Imperial German Flag with a green hoist like Transvaal. It joined Stellaland (1882-1885) to form the USA - United states of Stellaland. Its flag was green and red with a white star superimpised) Cape Colony and Natal Colony flew Blue ensigns, and Griqualand West, Kaffraria and others flew the Union Jack till they were incorporated into either the Cape or Natal. After the Boer War the Boer Republics, now colonies, flew Blue Ensigns as well, until the Union was formed and only the Union Jack was flown. In 1928 the Van Riebeeck Flag was created by adding a Union Jack, Free State and Transvaal Flag to the Prinzenvlag, flown in the Netherlands but changed to red instead of orange long before 1652(see the *). Thus, be it either pro-Dutch or Pro-British, RED-WHITE-BLUE have been integral colours in the history of South Africa and all its predecessor states.
