District Councils (Botswana)

Background

Background

There are many new district councils in Botswana, as some of the former sub-district councils were upgraded, and some old district councils were abolished. As far as I can see, the city councils and town councils are not affected by these reforms.

I made some preliminary search, and I found just new emblems, but no flags so far. You can see some of them in my Facebook group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1124948695009098

I can add that Orapa didn't become Town Council, so it is not municipality, and that that the flag of the Kgatleng DC is yellow with district emblem on it as far as I can remember. Also, I have seen photos with white flag of Ghanzi with emblem on it.

It seems to me that several districts were dissolved and the former sub-districts were upgraded to districts. At least looking at the map of Botwana's sub-districts (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sub-districts_of_Botswana), the sub-districts of the Central and Southern districts must have all become districts. But several other sub-districts also appear with district emblems.
Is it possible that the sub-districts were upgraded to Ming districts and the former districts were abolished? In this case, the country has 24 districts now, in contrast to the previous 10.
