Overview

All the words in Afrikaans to do with flags are descended from 17th Century Dutch (which does not seem to be much different from modern Dutch as far as flags are concerned).

There’s also word "vaan" (from germanic etym meaning "flag"), but usually only as in "windvaan": "vane" or "windvane".
