  3. This is Who We Are… The Republic of South Africa, as the name already indicates, is located in the very south of the African continent. It is bordered by the Indian Ocean in the east and the Atlantic Ocean in the west.

  4. Learning about our National Identity National Symbols Do you know what National Symbols are? National symbols are things/objects that make us (and other people) think about our country and who we are. When you see the following image what does it make you think of? Name at least 3-5 things.

  5. Our National Flag is the most commonly used visual symbol of South Africa. No matter where you are in the world, if you see this Flag, you will know that either a South African or a friend of South Africa is near. Our new National Flag Our new National Flag was hoisted* for the first time at one minute past midnight on the morning of 27 April 1994. All across South Africa, and throughout the world, people who saw this new Flag blowing in the wind for the first time, stood still for a moment and knew that democratic change had finally come to South Africa. They saw a flag that was fresh, confident*and joyful with colour. There were no pictures or references to flags of the past in the design. There was nothing in the design that could favour one group over another. The only symbol that came across clearly was the message of unity. Unity in the design of the National Flag The South African National Flag is made up of strong, bold lines of colour. The central design begins as a ‘V’ at the flag post, comes together in the centre, and extends as a horizontal band to the edge. This simple ‘two into one’ design reinforces the motto in the Coat of Arms – !ke e: /xarra //ke– meaning ‘diverse people unite’. There are specific rules about how the flag should be raised. There are also rules like… * the flag should not touch the ground * it should not be used as a table cloth * it must not be used to start or end off any kind of competition and more… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhUMsqei7kM&feature=player_embedded

  6. Can you name more of our National Symbols? • Because we are proud of our country we like to get to know more about or symbols. • We ask question like… • Why did we decide on that symbol? • What is the meaning we ascribe/assign to the symbol? • Was that always the symbol or was it changed – in other words what is the history of the symbol? • If it was changed – why did it change? • What values can we learn from this symbol?

  7. Our National Symbols describe/explain to us (and other people) what our values are…who we are as a nationour IDENTITY AS SOUTH AFRICANS

  8. A Rainbow Nation A long time ago, people from many different countries like India, the Netherlands and Germany came to South Africa. This is one of the reasons why today people like to call South Africa the “Rainbow Nation”: it’s a mixture of many different cultures, religions and languages. Imagine: 11 official languages are spoken in South Africa! However, the largest part of South Africa’s population is of African origin. There are 50 million people living in South Africa.

  9. Archbishop Desmond Tutu – a well known South African – started to speak about or country as the "Rainbow Nation", referring to the possibility of interracial harmony in South Africa. Then or beloved President Nelson Mandela started to use the term "Rainbow Nation" too and now we are known as such all over the world. There are 30 plus ethnic groups in South Africa with the Zulu being the largest group.There are 11 official languages in South Africa. Nelson Mandela once said “No one is born hating another person because of the colour of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.”

  13. The rising sun is a symbol of rebirth and the source of life, light and the wholeness of humanity. The secretary bird, symbolising protection of the nation, is a messenger of the heavens that brings grace to the earth. The spear and knobkieriesymbolisedefence and authority. They are lying down to depict peace. . The protea is an emblem of the beauty of our land and the flowering of our nation. The tusks of the elphantsymbolise wisdom, strength, moderation and eternity. The ears of wheat are an emblem of fertility that symbolise growth and the development of our potential. The human figures are a testament to our common humanity and heritage. They are greeting each other, symbolising unity. The shield shows both identity and spiritual defence.
