Arms: Or, on a chevron between in chief two six-pointed stars Sable and in base a bunch of grapes proper, three garbs Or. |
Origin/meaning
The arms were adopted on April 12, 1948, and registered at the Bureau of Heraldry on February 13, 1981. The registration certificate was issued on August 14, 1981.
The golden shield, chevron and stars are from the shield of Sir Benjamin D’ Urban after whom Durbanville was named. The golden garbs and grapes show the importance of Durbanville as a agricultural and wine district.
The motto means : May it be worthy of his name
These arms were among the earliest to be adopted in response to the Cape Provincial Administration's call, in December 1947, for municipal heraldry to be improved
