National Coat of Arms of Zimbabwe

 A national coat of arms, often known as a state emblem, is the state's most visible symbol. Consider how the Coat of Arms is endorsed on all of the significant events in your life: birth, marriage, death, and school certificates, as well as your passport. It's on one of the sides of your tiniest coin. Seeing a plaque of it on the embassy when out of the nation signifies a home away from home.

The coat of arms is also a key component of the Great Seal, which is historically regarded as the state's highest insignia. The President of Zimbabwe, by Statutory Instrument no.636 of September 1981, Armorial Bearings of Zimbabwe, formally accepted the Coat of Arms of Zimbabwe on September 12, 1981.  



On the left and right, two kudus are depicted, each standing on top of an earthly mound made up of wheat stalks, a pile of cotton, and a head of maize. There is also a flag with the Zimbabwe national slogan at their feet (Unity, Freedom, Work). The shield is green in color, with 14 waves of contrasting white and blue wavy lines at the top (chief argent), and a depiction of the ancient Kingdom of Great Zimbabwe in the middle. An agricultural hoe (on the left) and an AK-47 automatic weapon (on the right) are both linked with twisted green and gold silk strips behind the shield. The red star and the Great Zimbabwe Bird, which appear on the national flag, are featured on the crest.  

All of the elements in the Zimbabwe Coat of Arms have its own meaning explain discretely below:

  •     Kudus: Zimbabwe's many ethnic groups' togetherness
  •     Earthy Mound: The duty to continually provide for Zimbabweans, according to Earthly Mound
  •     Motto Banner: the importance of preserving national unity and freedom
  •     Sheild: The country's land and water fertility serve as a shield.
  •     Great Zimbabwe: the country's historical legacy
  •     Hoe and Rifle: Honors the Zimbabwean people's great work ethic as well as their battle for peace and democracy.
  •     Silk Strips: The national financial business and the economy's defense
  •     Red Star: Red Star is a symbol of optimism for Zimbabwe's future. The revolutionary character of the 1980 accomplishment majority rule, as well as the battle for a fair and equitable society, are conveyed.
  •     Zimbabwe Bird: The Great Zimbabwe Bird is a symbol of the country's identity.

Why Travelers never turn their back on Zimbabwe?

The Mighty Victoria Falls, Matopo Hills, Great Zimbabwe Monuments, and wildlife in Hwange, Zambezi, Mana Pools, and Gonarezhou National Parks are just a few of the natural and man-made attractions that Zimbabwe is endowed with.   Jozef Behr , a regular visitor to Zimbabwe, stated on his travel blog, “It's a marvel that so many travelers never make it past Victoria Falls since some of Africa's highest concentrations of wildlife, most trained guides, and finest all-around values lie just beyond its roaring depths”.       According to Jozef Behr ’s article, the greatest time to visit Zimbabwe is between June and November, when animals, particularly birds, visit the Mana Pools along the Zambezi River to drink water.     The amount of hospitability, the sincere feeling of welcome, and the general service and contact experience from the Zimbabweans many travelers become frequent t raveler to this destination. They are so full of hope and optimism for what th...

Jozef Behr Claims That Chiremba Balancing Rock of Zimbabwe Has A Jaw dropping View

Jozef Behr, a travel blogger, is one of my favorites. In his blog, he recounts his own experience in a unique way. He discovered the world's hidden treasures and educated the public about their value. I followed in his footsteps as usual, and now I'm in Chiremba, Zimbabwe, to see the Balancing Rock.   I read Jozef Behr's blog about balancing rock last week, and he claims that "the balancing rock of Zimbabwe is not man-made but created naturally." And it makes me want to come here and view this natural marvel.   Off Chiremba Road, 13 kilometers south of Harare, are the Chiremba Balancing Rocks. The balancing rocks are rather impressive. Massive stones piled on top of one other create breathtaking natural sculptures. The Chiremba balancing rocks are one of Zimbabwe's most magnificent geological phenomena, and they are found across the nation. These rocks, like the Standing Stones of Scotland, look to have been constructed by people, yet they are the consequen...
