THE LARGEST ZAMBIAN FLAG I HAVE EVER SEEN
The largest Zambian Flag I have ever seen in my extensive travels across the country is hoisted at East Park Shopping Mall on the Great East Road in Lusaka.
The Flag is located on the left side of the Great East Road entrance near the fly-over foot bridge.
It is hoisted on a mast which looks to be about 50-meters high -making it the tallest flag mast I have come across in Zambia.
In the fading sun-rays of yesterday’s sunset, the flag flew like a fluid in the wind.
From where I stood beneath it, I could hear the wind violently tugging at the colourful fabric which appears to be bigger than a typical Zambian flag hoisted at different Government buildings.
I have not been able to verify the exact size of the flag, but it is definitely the largest I have ever seen.
Watching the flag waving in its splendour awakened a sense of pride. I watched it move in the brisk wind, almost getting hypnotised and lost in a trance of patriotism.
I had to quickly snap out of the moment to take some pictures. Those in Lusaka, look out for this giant flag and share your experiences.
patriotism and the nation's wealth.
Under the steady flutter of the Zambian Flag, we are all one, despite our different ethnic, cultural and religious inclinations. Let the flag be our source of pride, honour and strength.
The Zambian flag was slightly modified in 1996. The shade of green used in the 1964 flag was replaced with brighter and lighter green and the eagle was slightly altered so as to be more like the one used in the Zambian coat of arms.
The design of the national flag of Zambia and flag protocols are described in the National Flag and Armorial Ensigns Act of 4 June 1965.
