| The coat of arms of the District Municipality had been launched on the 3rd of May 2003 by the then MEC for Public Works Mr Collins Chabane. |
| |
| The coat of arms itself comprise of the following features: |
| |
 |
A kingly crown at the top |
|
A shield, Mopani worm on top of a Mopani leaf |
|
A yellow circle |
|
Two elephants horns and |
|
A green background inside the shield |
|
Two eagles on both sides of the shield |
|
A yellow pedestal with the motto: Unity in diversity. |
| |
| Now what each one of these elements represents is: |
| |
|
The crown symbolise our respect for the traditional leadership since our is deeply rural District. |
|
The shield symbolises protection |
|
The Mopani worm is indeed our unique character since that these worms are predominantly found in this District alone throughout the country and therefore become a way also for us to begin to fight poverty. |
|
The Mopani leaf is where the worm resides and survive from but also reflects our strong agricultural potential,a yellow circle symbolise |
|
The two elephants horn indicates our tourist potential due to our close proximity with the Kruger national Park. |
|
The two eagles symbolise protection are these birds of prey are once again found in abundance in this District. |
|
Finally the yellow colour symbolise our mineral wealth and the motto relicts the various cultural and ethnic backgrounds and thus the cultural diversity of the people of Mopani. |
