Flag
The Zimbabwean flag was adopted in 1980. The Pan-African colors, representing agricultural and mineral wealth and freedom, were borrowed from the flag of the Zimbabwe African National Union, which led the struggle for majority rule. The black stripe recognizes the achievement of black majority rule, while the white triangle represents the desire for peace and cooperation with the white minority. The soapstone bird is a symbol of the ancient city of Zimbabwe, while the red star represents internationalism and the future.
Anthem
"Ngaikomborerwe Nyika yeZimbabwe"
("Blessed Be the Land of Zimbabwe")

Men calling themselves war veterans arrived at my farm today, whistled and sang revolutionary songs and said they were taking the farm.
