The inspiration and ideas for the new SADC Flag came from the overwhelming grassroots response to the SADC Flag Competition. Over a thousand entries were received from ordinary citizens in SADC Member States suggesting symbols for the SADC Flag. My design and theme was the one eventually selected. The flag was officially launched at the SADC Summit of Heads of State and Government held in Johannesburg, South Africa, on 28 August 1995.

Logos I have designed include the SADC 15th Anniversary Logo, the Botswana 25th Anniversary Logo for the Botswana Government, and the Kgotla Botswana Logo for the Hotel and Tourism Association of Botswana Tourism Expo.

SADC Flag
Blue: symbolizes the sky and oceans which provide water for our common survival.
Green: represents the region's rich flora and fauna as well as its agricultural potential.
Gold: depicts the region's abundant mineral wealth.
