The first quarter is supposed to represent the arms of Jan van Riebeeck, whose family bore: gules, three annulets or (see Cape Town. The anchor in the second quarter symbolises the Cape Colony – and one is still found in the arms of Western Cape Province.

The tent in the third quarter represents the military camp in Wynberg, established under British rule in the late 18th century. This camp still operates.
