1979 – First Hosting of the National Flag of Zimbabwe Rhodesia
First Hosting of the National Flag of Zimbabwe Rhodesia
2 September 1979
In 1979, the country became known as Zimbabwe-Rhodesia and a new flag was adopted featuring the pan-African colours of red, black, yellow and green, and the Zimbabwe Bird.
However, under the terms of the Lancaster House Agreement, the country briefly returned to British rule under the Union Jack from 12 December 1979 although the Zimbabwe Rhodesia flag remained de facto in use.
