The Klein Vrijstaat left its mark on the map: the notch in the south-western
border of Swaziland is all that's left of this state.

A few additional details about the Klein Vrystaat and its flag from C.L.
Engelbrecht's book entitled Republiek van Klein Vrystaat 1886-1891 (2000)
:
- the fabric for the flag was bought in April 1890 (it cost 9 shillings);
- according to one source, the flag was flown with the blue stripe uppermost,
not the red stripe; and
- the Klein Vrystaat was incorporated into the Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek on 11 April 1891.
Assuming that the flag was made in April 1890, it was used, then, for only one
year.
