Political Heraldry
Only one appears to have adopted a coat of arms, namely the Herstigte Nasionale Party ("Re-established National Party"), which broke away from the mainstream National Party in 1968. Its arms, in the colours of the old national flag, depict three powder-horns - a nationalist symbol - inscribed with significant dates in Afrikaner nationalist history.

All the current political parties in South Africa have pictorial emblems or logos. So did many of the earlier parties, of the "old", i.e. pre-1994, South Africa.
Many parties have flags, some of which are registered at the Bureau of Heraldry. You'll find a detailed discussion and illustrations on the Flags of the World website.
