![[Flag of Gaborone]](../images/b/bw-gbe.jpg)
image sent by Santiago Tazon, 10 May 2001
Plain light blue flag with a Coat of Arms in the center. The light blue
is the same colour than national flag of Botswana. This flag and the national
one are flying in the "CIVIC CENTER" in Gaborone's Business District (Central
Gaborone). I'm not sure if this building could be part of the town hall
or not.

Yes, the light blue flag with the CoA in the centre is indeed the municipal flag of Gaborone, capital of Botswana. I have seen it flying there too, and sent a letter to the municipality asking for more detail on the arms but never received a response.
The colour shade for the blue used on the national flag is being discussed
by the Cabinet. That has been a problem with standardisation and
so flags with various shades of blue (from different manufacturers) are
seen and the government wants to change this. As soon as I get the
confirmed details, I will share them with you.
