 Since 1963, the Bureau has introduced many innovations, including lines of partition, charges drawn from South African fauna and flora and the African heritage and, in the early 1970s, a highly stylised, Finnish-influenced, artistic style.In 1996, during his presidency of the country, Dr. Nelson Mandela was invested as a member of the Danish Order of the Elephant by the Queen of Denmark.As he wasn't an armiger at the time of his investiture, he had a coat of arms developed by the Danish court herald which bore the colours of the South African flag.
