Gaborone is the capital, and
largest city, in Botswana. It is located in the
south-eastern corner of the country about 15km from the South African border.
Because the city had no tribal affiliation and was close to fresh
water, the city was planned to
be the capital in the mid-1960s as soon as the Bechuanaland
Protectorate became independent. Prior to independence, the
protectorate was ruled from Mafikeng in neighbouring
South Africa. The headquarters of the Southern
African Development Community are located in the city.

The flag of Gaborone is light blue with the
municipal Coat of Arms in the center. The light blue
is the same colour as the national flag of Botswana. Both this flag and
the national flag fly in front of the "Civic Centre" in Gaborone's Business District (Central
Gaborone).
