Botswana’s flag made waves at the opening ceremony of the Olympic games in Rio de Janeiro on Saturday. The national flag blended well with the attire that the team put on. The flag bearer, Nijel Amos, wore a blue blazer, white shirt and black trouser and immediately twitter went abuzz, not only from Batswana, but from people as far as Europe.

This is what some people said:

Bruno Ziggy Brown @brunocockapoo #Rio2016 #Opening Ceremony #Botswana looking smart in their national flag colors.

Yung Sunflower@mellyfishing@the boy carrying the flay for Botswana: can I get your number.

Jesse Calhoun Bethea@jesscalhon Did Botswana change the flag#opening ceremony. Julia Hayden@julenesque I like Botswana’s flag and the outfits they’ve matched beautifully to it.

Becky Belec@beckeybelec But let us talk about the blue on Botswana’s flag, stunning!!Dream bedroom paint color.

Kim Love@kimmaytube #Brazil flag is my favorite of the world but #Botswana’s flag maybe my second favorite. I need to learn the history behind it#Rio 2016

Baby Girl @PrettyLadyyTey makes me happy to see that someone out there thinks our national colors are beautiful.

We can only hope that the team will do as good as the flag,if not better.
