Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on May 26, 1971.

The quills and ledger are obvious symbols for an accountant. The meaning of the torch I do not know. The free quarter shows a wildebeest from the arms of Natal. The bordure symbolises coins.

The scales are again a symbol for the work as an accountant. The motto means truth and fairness.
