-====Origin/meaning====
+===Origin/meaning===
 The arms were officially granted on 1 September 1988 and were abolished on the independence of Namibia in 1990.
-{{missing}}
+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]].
