The national flag of [[Botswana]] was adopted on September 30, 1966. The flag is light [[blue]] with a [[black]] horizontal band across the centre, with [[white]] [[fimbriation]]. The stripes are in a ratio of 9:1:4:1:9. The blue colour stands for [[water]], specifically [[rain]], and comes from the [[motto]] on the [[Coat of arms of Botswana|Botswana coat-of-arms]], which states ''Pula'', the [[Tswana language|Setswana]] word for "Let there be rain". The white and black bands stand for racial harmony, and also refer to the [[zebra]]s that support the nation's coat of arms.<br />
