BENONI
Province: Gauteng (until 1994 Transvaal Province)
Incorporated into : Ekurhuleni
Origin/meaning
Benoni is a mining and industrial town on the East Rand. The above "arms" appear to allude to mining, industry, agriculture, and sport.
They were replaced in 1938 by a grant from the College of Arms: Or, a turreted castle of three storeys Sable, on a chief Sable three escallops Argent, all within a bordure Gules charged with four bezants and four heraldic fountains alternately (I have no image thereof).
The castle and escallops apparently come from the arms of the Duke of Bedford.
