By the way, I have not yet seen passport covers with the new coat-of-arms. Anyone spotted any? – Kaihsu 13:40, 26 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I have now seen one. – Kaihsu (talk) 13:04, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

Blazon?
Is it possible to prepare a blazon for this? – Kaihsu 20:21, 30 March 2007 (UTC)


 * There is a blazon in the text, but it's strangely written with those points. Arms Jones (talk) 23:37, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

The blazon is from the official blazon, prepared by the Bureau of Heraldry (South Africa) once they were presented with the winning design.

 * Is that a South African custom, to write the blazon in points that way? Arms Jones (talk) 23:50, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

Seal?
The article mentions a seal of the republic. I haven't been able to find a picture of this. What does it look like? Is it the same as the coat of arms? – Illegitimate Barrister (talk • contribs), 17:02, 29 May 2018 (UTC)
