Limpopo

Limpopo, officially the Democratic Republic of Limpopo (formerly known as Transvaal), is a landlocked country located in southern Africa. It is bordered by South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Eswatini, Lesotho and Mozambique. The capital is Pretoria. About 80 percent of Limpopoese are of Sub-Saharan African ancestry, divided among a variety of ethnic groups speaking different African languages. The remaining population consists of Africa's largest communities of European (White), Asian (Indian), and multiracial (Coloured) ancestry.

History
Limpopo was populated by several African tribes prior to European settlement. After the Cape Colony became under British rule, the Dutch farmers moved to Limpopo and created the Republic of Transvaal. The Republic of Transvaal became under British rule in 1881. Transvaal became independent in 1910 after a short war. Transvaal was ruled by the white minority for the rest of the 20th century. In 2004 the first black president was elected after the African population got more rights. In 2005 the name was changed to Limpopo.

Flag
The flag of Limpopo is a tricolour consisting of three equal horizontal bands displaying: red, white and blue. On the left, there is a green vertical bar with a white lion on it.
