The flag of Pretoria is the flag that represents the city of Pretoria, the administrative capital of South Africa. The flag is simple in design, as it has only two colors, red and yellow. Red is located on the top half, while yellow is on the bottom portion. These colors are the official city colors, derived from the city arms.
Famous quotes containing the words flag of and/or flag:
“Swift blazing flag of the regiment,
Eagle with crest of red and gold,
These men were born to drill and die.
Point for them the virtue of slaughter,
Make plain to them the excellence of killing
And a field where a thousand corpses lie.”
—Stephen Crane (1871–1900)
“There’s an enduring American compulsion to be on the side of the angels. Expediency alone has never been an adequate American reason for doing anything. When actions are judged, they go before the bar of God, where Mom and the Flag closely flank His presence.”
—Jonathan Raban (b. 1942)
