Origin/meaning
The municipality was established in 1877, and the arms were in use by 1900. The design seems to be an expression of late Victorian imperial and colonial patriotism: the background is the Union Jack, and the fleurs de lis, lion and annulets are taken off the Cape Colony coat of arms. The diamond-shaped lozenge (which should be gold) behind the lion symbolises the city's diamond-mining industry.
