The flag of South Africa between 1928 and 1994 was the flag of the Union of South Africa and later the Republic of South Africa between 1928 and 1994. It based on the Dutch Prince's Flag and had the Union Jack, flag of the Orange Free State and the Transvaal Vierkleur in the centre.[1] It was nicknamed Oranje, Blanje, Blou (Afrikaans: Orange, White, Blue).[2] It was adopted in 1928 by an act of Parliament from the first Afrikaner majority government and was replaced by the current flag of South Africa in 1994 following the end of apartheid.
