Seen by MyPE – Ex Unitate Vires. Who can tell me more about this coat of arms?:
The present coat of arms of South Africa was introduced on Freedom Day 27 April 2000. It replaced the earlier national arms, which had been in use since 1910. The previous motto, in Latin, was Ex unitate vires, translated as “From unity, strength”. The new motto ?ke e: ?xarra ?ke is written in the Khoisan language of the ?Xam people and translates literally to “diverse people unite”.

Passionate about Port Elizabeth and definitely NOT packing for Perth.
Alan's ethos is epitomised in the words of Nelson Mandela; "I have fought against white domination and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the idea of a democratic and free society. If need be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die."
