Matola is the seat of Maputo Province, in Mozambique. According to this
website (reported by António Kitabulu Teixeira), its flag is
approx. 1:2, with three horizontal stripes of green, a central stripe of white
in double width, and yellow. The municipal emblem is placed in the centre
of the white stripe. The emblem displays
a river border scene and includes a book, a cogwheel and a hoe, also found
in the national emblem, and also what looks like a smoking pipe, and a
scroll reading "CIDADE DA MATOLA / PAZ E PROGRESSO". (Images of the flag
can be seen
