It was adopted in 1968 to replace the sky blue ensign used by Southern Rhodesia (1964–1965) and Rhodesia (1965–1968).

In 1979, Rhodesia changed its name to Zimbabwe Rhodesia and adopted a new flag before being under British rule from 1979-1980 which resulted Zimbabwe being de jure independent in 1980.
