The Rev Roy Snyman
The arms, registered by the Bureau of Heraldry on 10 January 1979, are blazoned:
Arms: Gules, a saltire Or, on an inescutcheon Azure, issuant from a cloud at sinister base a dexter cubit arm vested, holding a sickle, all proper; on a chief Argent, surmounting a yoke Sable, a descending dove Gules.
Crest: Three ears of wheat Gules enfiled with a coronet of three fleurs-de-lis Or jewelled Gules.
Wreath and mantling: Or and Gules.
Motto: Non Agit Perperam.
The arms combine elements representing the Snyman family (the inescutcheon) and the Viljoen family (the saltire), as well as personal symbols and allusions.
A full explanation of how these arms were drawn up by the armiger and Major F G Brownell can be found here, as well as a discussion on its use in the wider Snyman family.
