The current national flag of Lesotho, adopted on the 40th anniversary of Lesotho's independence on 4 October 2006,[2] features a horizontal blue, white, and green tricolour with a black mokorotlo (a Basotho hat) in the center. The design is intended to reflect a state that is both at peace internally and with its only neighbour South Africa, replacing the old flag design that featured a military emblem of a shield, spear and knobkerrie.[3][4]
