A kanga with a black outer border, the inner border has red and black stripes with yellow leaves on a white background. The center is black and has white circles with black and red squares, dotted inside. This represents a checkers game. It has a written text in swahili 'kumradhi mwenye kosa hashindani' meaning 'sorry is for whoever who is wrong and doesn't argue'.
