An anecdote on Rainbow

Did you know why is the 'Republic of South Africa' refer to as a Rainbow Nation'?

V.K.Handa of Kolkata writes in The Times of India, dated Nov 4, 2007 that South Africa is referred to as a Rainbow Nation to describe the unity of various cultural, racial or ethnic groups in the country during the post-apartheid era (after 1994) compared to the earlier divisiveness based on skin colour. This phrase was coined by the then Arch bishop of Cape Town, Desmond Tutu, and later used by Nelson Mandela, the first President of the South Africa elected in the first polls conducted after apartheid rule officially ended. In some South African cultures, Rainbow is always associated with hope and a bright future. Incidentally, the South African flag also has six rainbow-like colours.
