Indlela Eyenziwe Ngayo-Design
iCoat of Arms yenziwe ngokudibanisa iqela lee elementi ezithile zaze zabekwa ngendlela eile okwe qanda, enye yaba phezu kwenye. Ukumila kweqanda okungezantsi kumele isiseko sethu kwaye yenziwe ngee elementi eziliqela. Eyokuqala yi motto ethi - ‘!ke e:/xarra //ke’ – nethetha ukuba ‘bantu abohlukileyo manyanani’ oku kubekwe kwi sekile eliceba eluhlaza.
Ecaleni kwale sekile iliceba kukho iimpondo ezimbini zendlovu ezijonge phezulu. Ngaphakathi kwale sekile iliceba kukho iindlebe ezimbini zengqolowa nezixhage ikhakha legolide. Eli khakha lime ngakwi gubu lize libekwe phakathi kwegubu lona ke liphakathi kwento ekumila kwabantu, abazotywe ngendlela uhlanga lwama Khoisan lwaluzoba ngayo ematyeni.
Entla kweli khaka kukho umkhonto ne gqudu, zombini ke ezi zikhali zixananazisiwe ukwenza into enye. Ezi elementi zenza ukumila kwe ovali okusema zantsi, isiseko. Kanye ngentla kwesi siseko kukho enye iovali, enomphantsi owenziwe nge ndlungi/King protea. Iintyatyambo ze ndlungi zimile oku kuka nxantathu, nto leyo ekwenza ucinge ngemisebenzi yezandla yase Afrika.
Entla kwale King protea kukho intaka ene protea ekhula esifubeni sayo. Lentaka iphakamise amaphiko, nagqibezela i-ovali engentla. Ilanga eliphumayo liphakathi kwamaphiko alentaka, negqibezela i-ovali engezantsi. Lo mxube we ovali ezimbini ezidibanayo wenza umbono omhle obukelekayo nobubuchule.
