	British South Africa Company - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The British South Africa Company (BSAC) was established by Cecil Rhodes through the amalgamation of the Central Search Association and the Exploring Company, Ltd., receiving a royal charter in 1889.
		The company was empowered to treat with African rulers such as King Lobengula; to form banks; to own, manage and grant or distribute land, and to raise a police force (the British South Africa Police).
		In 1922, the company entered negotiations with the government of the Union of South Africa, which was keen to take over the territory - a plan foiled by the colony's settlers, who voted against incorporation with South Africa.

	Zimbabwe: British South Africa Company
		The British South Africa Company was a mercantile company incorporated in 1889 under a Royal Charter at the instigation of Cecil Rhodes.
		The company flag hoisted at the occupation of Bulawayo, and presumably used elsewhere in the area under company jurisdiction, was not described in detail in the royal charter and the lack of such a description probably accounts for the discrepancies and different versions of the company flag which exist.
		The Company Administrator who, in terms of the royal charter, was the Crown's representative in the territories under the control of the company, was also entitled to a distinctive flag for his personal use in common with British Governors in other parts of the world.

	Zimbabwe: British South Africa Company (BSAC)
		The flag of the BSAC was raised in the Matabele capital of Bulawayo on 4 November 1893 after the Company's forces led by Major Patrick Forbes drove the native Ndebele from the town.
		From the drawing of the hoisting of the Company flag in Bulawayo in 1893, it is not clear whether the fimbriation is present or not.
		A BSAC flag with fimbriation is on display at the Livingston Museum in Zambia and I have an example of such a flag in my collection which was a house flag used by the Company at its offices in Salisbury (now Harare).

	Zimbabwe: Historical flags
		Between 1890 and September 1923 the territory now known as Zimbabwe was administered by the British South Africa Company (BSAC) in terms of a Royal Charter granted to Cecil John Rhodes by Queen Victoria.
		Rather than the dark blue ensign commonly used by Commonwealth countries or British colonies, such as those used by Australia or Hong Kong, the field of the Rhodesian flag was light blue or sky blue, similar to that used on the Royal Air Force ensign or the flag of Fiji or Tuvalu.
		It's unlikely that the British South Africa Company would have used a plain red flag with a roundel in the centre, but the arms in the roundel do resemble (vaguely) those of the BSA Co. However, the BSAC's chief flag was a Union Jack defaced with its arms.
