The arms were originally granted on 20 October 1955. These arms were again granted on 26 June 1987.
The wavy bar symbolises the Vaal river, that runs through the town. The mine picks and cogwheels symbolise the importance of mining and industry in the city. The thunderbolt symbolises energy, whereas the steel pipe is also a symbol of the steel industry.<br.
The crest shows a pigeon and two hands. The crest symbolises the Peace Treaty, signed in 1902 in Pretoria, but negotiated in Vereeniging, which marked the end of the Boer wars.
The supporters, a zebra and a lion, are typical animals in the area.
The motto PER PACEM AD INDUSTRIAM, means By peace to industry.
