The current flag of Rwizikuru was adopted on 2 December, 1946 following the independence of Rwizikuru from Estmere. Designed by Lucas Mutezo, it was enshrined in the Rwizikuran constitution, and later enshrined by the Rwizikuran basic law in 1968, and by the current Rwizikuran constitution.

Design

Original design by Lucas Mutezo, 1946

The design comprises of three equal vertical stripes of green, gold, and blue, with each meaning ascribed to the flag according to designer Lucas Mutezo.

The green stripe represents the forests of the Rwizikuran Republic, and the fertility of the land of Rwizikuru. The gold stripe represents the natural resources of the Rwizikuran Republic and the wealth of the country. Finally, the blue stripe represents the Rwizikuru River which flows through the middle of the country and unites the Rwizikuran Republic.

Besides the official interpretation outlined in the 1946 Rwizikuran constitution, a common interpretation was that the green stripe represented Yekumavirira, which was previously part of the Gaullican colony of Quigomba, the yellow stripe represented East Riziland, which had previously been the Gaullican colony of Baséland, and the blue stripe represented the former Estmerish colony of Riziland. This has been lent credence as the original design by Lucas Mutezo shows the flag arranged in a green, blue, and gold order, as illustrated, but the adopted design swapped the blue and gold around as it was deemed to be "more aesthetically pleasing to the human eye" than the original design by the committee reviewing entries to the Rwizikuran flag competition. Furthermore, the vertical stripes were arranged by Lucas Mutezo to reflect the Rwizikuru River flowing from the Ambakaran Mountains to the Maccan Sea in a north-to-south direction, further lending credence to this common interpretation.
