The Flag of Zimbabwe

For the sake of our Zimbabwean Bible student, Michelle Moyo, and our Gurure family, we have decided to hoist a Zimbabwean flag as part of our representation of different nationalities represented here at Langeberg Christian Fellowship. There was a tear shed by Michelle as it was hoisted for the first time.

  • As the above picture of the Zimbabwe Flag indicates the flag has:
    • seven equal horizontal bands of green, yellow, red, black, red, yellow, and green
    • a white isosceles triangle edged in black with its base on the hoist side
  • According to Ancient and Heraldic traditions much symbolism is associated with colors. The colors on the Zimbabwe flag represent the following:
    • Yellow – mineral wealth
    • White – peace and honesty
    • Red – blood shed to achieve independence, hardiness, bravery, strength & valour
    • Black – stands for the native people
    • Green – the land and agriculture, hope, joy and love and in many cultures have a sacred significance
