<P>The design process was initiated when, in 1999, the <A href="/wiki/Department_of_Arts_and_Culture_(South_Africa)" title="Department of Arts and Culture (South Africa)">Department of Arts, Culture, Science and Technology</A> requested ideas for the new coat-of-arms from the public. A brief was then prepared based on the ideas received, along with input from the Cabinet. The <A href="/wiki/Government_Communication_and_Information_System" title="Government Communication and Information System">Government Communication and Information System</A> then approached <A href="/w/index.php?title=Design_South_Africa&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Design South Africa (page does not exist)">Design South Africa</A> to brief ten of the top designers. Three designers were chosen to present their concepts to the Cabinet.  <A href="/w/index.php?title=Iaan_Bekker&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Iaan Bekker (page does not exist)">Iaan Bekker</A>'s design was chosen.
</P><P>The new arms were introduced on Freedom Day, 27 April 2000. The change reflected the government's aim to highlight the democratic change in South Africa and a new sense of patriotism.
</P><P>The coat of arms is a series of elements organised in distinct symmetric egg-like or oval shapes placed on top of one another. The completed structure of the coat of arms combines the lower and higher oval shape in a symbol of infinity. The path that connects the lower edge of the scroll, through the lines of the tusks, with the horizon above and the sun rising at the top, forms the shape of the cosmic egg from which the secretary bird rises. In the symbolic sense, this is the implied rebirth of the spirit of the great and heroic nation of South Africa.
</P><P>The coat of arms is also a central part of the Seal of the Republic, traditionally considered to be the highest emblem of the State. Absolute authority is given to every document with an impression of the Seal of the Republic on it, as this means that it has been approved by the President of South Africa. Since 1997, however, the use of the Seal of the Republic has not actually been required by the Constitution, but it continues to be used.

<P>The first element is the motto, in a green semicircle. Completing the semicircle are two symmetrically placed pairs of elephant tusks pointing upwards. Within the oval shape formed by the tusks are two symmetrical ears of wheat, that in turn frame a centrally placed gold shield.
</P><P>The shape of the shield makes reference to the drum, and contains two human figures from <A href="/wiki/Khoisan" title="Khoisan">Khoisan</A> rock art. The figures are depicted facing one another in greeting and in unity.
</P><P>Above the shield are a spear and a <A href="/wiki/Knobkierie" title="Knobkierie">knobkierie</A>, crossed in a single unit. These elements are arranged harmoniously to give focus to the shield and complete the lower oval shape of foundation.
</P>
<UL><LI><B>The motto</B></LI></UL>
<DL><DD>The motto is: !ke e: /xarra //ke, written in the <A href="/wiki/Khoisan_language" class="mw-redirect" title="Khoisan language">Khoisan language</A> of the /Xam people, literally meaning "diverse people unite". It addresses each individual effort to harness the unity between thought and action. On a collective scale it calls for the nation to unite in a common sense of belonging and national pride - unity in diversity.</DD></DL>
<UL><LI><B>The ears of wheat</B></LI></UL>
<DL><DD>An emblem of fertility, it also symbolises the idea of germination, growth and the feasible development of any potential. It relates to the nourishment of the people and signifies :the agricultural aspects of the Earth.</DD></DL>

<DL><DD>Elephants symbolise wisdom, strength, moderation and eternity.</DD></DL>

<UL><LI><B>The human figures</B></LI></UL>
<DL><DD>The figures are depicted in an attitude of greeting, symbolising unity. This also represents the beginning of the individual’s transformation into the greater sense of :belonging to the nation and by extension, collective humanity.</DD></DL>
<UL><LI><B>The spear and knobkierie</B></LI></UL>
<DL><DD>A dual symbol of defence and authority, they in turn represent the powerful legs of the <A href="/wiki/Secretary_bird" class="mw-redirect" title="Secretary bird">secretary bird</A>. The spear and <A href="/wiki/Knobkierie" title="Knobkierie">knobkierie</A> are lying down, symbolising peace.</DD></DL>

<P>Immediately above the oval shape of foundation, is the visual centre of the coat of arms, a protea. The petals of the protea are rendered in a triangular pattern reminiscent of the crafts of <A href="/wiki/Africa" title="Africa">Africa</A>.
</P><P>The <A href="/wiki/Secretary_bird" class="mw-redirect" title="Secretary bird">secretary bird</A> is placed above the protea and the flower forms the chest of the bird. The secretary bird stands with its wings uplifted in a regal and uprising gesture. The distinctive head feathers of the secretary bird crown a strong and vigilant head.
The rising sun above the horizon is placed between the wings of the secretary bird and completes the oval shape of ascendance.
</P><P>The combination of the upper and lower oval shapes intersect to form an unbroken infinite course, and the great harmony between the basic elements result in a dynamic, elegant and thoroughly distinctive design. Yet it clearly retains the stability, gravity and immediacy that a coat of arms demands.

<UL><LI><B>The King protea</B></LI></UL>
<DL><DD>The <A href="/wiki/Protea" title="Protea">protea</A> is an emblem of the beauty of our land and the flowering of our potential as a nation in pursuit of the African Renaissance. The protea symbolises the holistic :integration of forces that grow from the Earth and are nurtured from above. The most popular colours of Africa have been assigned to the protea – green, gold, red and black.</DD></DL>
<UL><LI><B>The secretary bird</B></LI></UL>
<DL><DD>The <A href="/wiki/Secretary_bird" class="mw-redirect" title="Secretary bird">secretary bird</A> is characterised in flight, the natural consequence of growth and speed. It is the equivalent of the <A href="/wiki/Southern_African_lion" class="mw-redirect" title="Southern African lion">lion</A> on Earth. A powerful bird whose legs - depicted as the :spear and knobkierie - serve it well in its hunt for snakes, symbolising protection of the nation against its enemies. It is a messenger of the heavens and conducts its grace upon the Earth. In this sense it is a symbol of divine majesty. Its uplifted wings are an emblem of the ascendance of our nation, while simultaneously offering us its protection. It is :depicted in gold, which clearly symbolises its association with the sun and the highest power.</DD></DL>
<UL><LI><B>The rising sun</B></LI></UL>
<DL><DD>An emblem of brightness, splendour and the supreme principle of the nature of energy. It symbolises the promise of rebirth, the active faculties of reflection, knowledge, good judgement and willpower.
