-====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.
