National coat of arms<br />

The national coat of arms was adopted on 27 April 2000. It is constructed in two circles, which<br />

are described as the circle of foundation and the circle of ascendance.<br />

Circle of foundation<br />

Shield – The two Khoisan figures on the shield are taken from a<br />

Bushman rock painting known as the Linton stone, and represent the<br />

common humanity and heritage of South Africans. Depicted in an attitude<br />

of greeting, the figures symbolise unity. Spear and knobkierie<br />

– Together, these objects symbolise defence and authority, but the flat<br />

angle at which they lie symbolises peace.<br />

Wheat – The ears of wheat, as emblems of fertility, represent germination,<br />

growth and the development of potential, as well as nourishment<br />

and agriculture. Elephant tusks – Elephants symbolise wisdom,<br />

strength, power, authority, moderation and eternity, and the use<br />

of tusks is a tribute to the world’s largest land mammal, Loxodonta<br />

Africana, which is found in South Africa. Motto – Taken from the language<br />

of the now extinct /Xam Bushmen, the motto translated means<br />

‘people who are different come together’ or ‘diverse people unite’.<br />

Circle of ascendance<br />

Protea – Protea cynaroides is the national flower of South Africa and is symbolic of the beauty of<br />

the country and flowering of the nation’s potential. Secretary bird – Characterised in flight, the<br />

secretary bird represents growth and speed, and is a symbol of divine majesty and protection.<br />

Rising sun – The sun is an emblem of energy and rebirth, a source of light and life appropriate for<br />

a country characterised by sunshine and warmth.<br />
