Origin/meaning
The eagle relates to the armiger’s ancestry and the VAN NIEKERK family ties. The ox wagon symbolises the province of Transvaal, the birthplace of the armiger, as well as representing the Afrikaner nation. The green hill is a visual reference to Koppie-Alleen (Lone-Hill), the armiger’s family farm in Kwa-Zulu Natal, South Africa. It also represents the green hilly province of Natal where the armiger spent their youth.
The crest consists of a pair of black and white wings, which depicts the armiger’s love for travel and exploring cultures. The protea flower represents the armiger’s country of origin, South Africa.
The motto written in Afrikaans translates to “with skill and logic” and signifies the family’s strong technical and creative abilities.
