SVG genesis

The SVG code is valid.

This vector image was created with a text editor.

Licensing

This image shows a flag, a coat of arms, a seal or some other official insignia. The use of such symbols is restricted in many countries. These restrictions are independent of the copyright status.

This image was first published in South Africa and is in the public domain because it is an image of or from:

Official texts of a legislative, administrative or legal nature, or in official translations of such texts.
Political speeches or speeches delivered in the course of legal proceedings. (However, the author of speeches has the exclusive right to create a collection of such speeches.)
News of the day that are mere items of press information.

According to the Copyright Act, 1978 (as amended), § 12 (8) (a), "No copyright shall subsist in official texts of a legislative, administrative or legal nature, or in official translations of such texts; or in speeches of a political nature or in speeches delivered in the course of legal proceedings, or in news of the day that are mere items of press information."

See § 313.6(C)(2) of the Compendium of U.S. Copyright Office Practices, 3rd ed. 2014 (Compendium (Third)). Such documents include "legislative enactments, judicial decisions, administrative rulings, public ordinances, or similar types of official legal materials."
