{{ | The arms make use of a stylized Tswana shield bearing a tree, the totem of that branch of the Tswana nation. Ensigning the shield is a headring which supports a leopard's face, the leopard being a symbol of chieftainship. The supporters, an oryx and a kudu, are indigenous to Tswana. They both also featured in the now defunct arms of the Territory of [[South West Africa]]. | ||
