Botswana's flag is light blue with a black horizontal stripe fimbriated in white across the centre. The blue represents water and rain — precious in a largely arid country, echoing the national motto 'Pula' (rain). The black and white stripes stand for racial harmony and the plural society, and echo the stripes of the zebra, a national symbol.
