  • Post-Colonial Heraldry in Kwazulu-Natal
    42 Shield, Symbolism and Identity Shield, Symbolism and Identity: Post-colonial Heraldry in KwaZulu-Natal Introduction In the days of chivalry, mediaeval knights riding to battle or jousting at tourneys were covered from head to toe in armour, and with the visor on their helms shut, it was impossible to identify the knight-within, so to speak. For this reason the knight’s cloak, worn outside his armour, the cloth worn outside the horse’s armour, and later, the knight’s shield as well, were decorated with easy-to-recognise brightly-coloured patterns and devices: crosses, circles, stars. Many knights also wore distinctive crests on their helmets. Over the years, as these symbols of identity proliferated, they became formalised and codified. The shield became the main carrier of the various symbols and images, and together with helmet and crest, and various other bits and pieces — all described below — these became known collectively as a ‘Coat-of-Arms’ or ‘Armorial Bearings’. When the Age of Chivalry ended, and knights no longer rode to joust in tourneys, or to defeat the infidel at the gates of Jerusalem, the coats-of-arms, still in, on and around their shields, remained. They became the identifying symbols, not only of aristocratic families, but of institutions. Countries and provinces, cities and boroughs, guilds of tradesmen and other corporations, universities and schools, all used coats-of- arms, which were normally registered. Identity has become an enormously important issue in the post-colonial era, and especially so in Africa, where for so long it has become a given that colonial settlers stripped the local inhabitants of their identity and replaced it with a quasi-European identity.

The historical Lubomirski Palace is in the middle of the 26-hectare park. It is known under several names.It dates back to mid-19th century and was built by Aleksander Krusenstern. In 1866, Krusenstern made the estate over to his daughter, Zofi a Rudiger who, in turn, sold it. The Lubomirski, who were also the owners, bought the palace in 1922. Also it is important to know that the Lubomirski Palace has another connection with history. During World War II, it was used as the residence of ERIC KOCH, who at that time served as supervisor of the Bialystok Industrial District. In 1944, the Lubomirski Palace was completely destroyed by fi re. In 1956-57, the Palace was rebuilt. The Lubomirski Palace is presently in good condition.

  • CHOGM) Issued 16Th October 1991
    COMMONWEALTH HEADS OF GOVERNMENT MEETING (CHOGM) Issued 16th October 1991 (Extracted from Philatelic Bureau Bulletin No 4 of 1991)2 “At the threshold of a new century, the Commonwealth, an offshoot of nineteenth century colonialism, has grown to 50 member states and become a leading instrument of North-South co- operation. The membership adds up to a quarter of the world's nations and people. It spans the continents and is a bridge between races and religions and between rich and poor. It enables them to discuss common problems frankly and to work together for solutions. The Commonwealth bears little resemblance to the Empire from which it has grown. It began to take its modern form at India's Independence in 1947. Two years later, India became a republic and the Commonwealth adapted to having within its countries owing no allegiance to the British crown. The newest member is Namibia which became independent in March 1990. Commonwealth countries regard Queen Elizabeth II as a symbol of the association and as such, Head of the Commonwealth.” The Commonwealth is known for its tradition of regular meetings of Heads of Government to discuss world problems and the work of the association. From October 16- 22, 1991, this meeting took place at the Harare International Conference Centre, Zimbabwe. The Commonwealth Logo 39c: CHOGM Logo The edge of the logo represents the great enclosure wall, in stonework design of the Great Zimbabwe viewed from above.
