 1. This is the South African coat of arms also known as State Emblem. It has a Blue Crane which is the national bird of South Africa, the national Springbok, the Protea or Protea Cynaroiden is the national flower, the Yellowwood is the national tree and the Galjoen id the national fish. Over the top the sun is raising over the Blue crane. On each side there are african elephant tusks. It means wisdom, steadyfastness and strength. The 2 men standing men in the picture are a symbol of peace and not war.

2. On April 27, 2000 they had made a new coat of arms. The government took the top 10 designers to make the new coat of arms. Freedom day was on April 27, 2000 and that's when the new coat of arms was released. They have used that coat of arms ever since, even today!

3. They used this Coat of arms ever since 2000 and the people of South Africa don't want to ever change it. This was made because they wanted to show that South Africa was a peaceful country. The motto is Diverse people unit (literally translated). Now they have t-shirts with the symbols for people that want to <span style="color: #ff008c; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 140%;">remember South Africa!
