	Armoria patriæ - Qwaqwa
		The choice of a Tswana shield for the arms of Qwaqwa is puzzling, since the homeland state was quite definitely South Sotho, or Sesotho sa Borwa, in language and culture.
		These were carried to the agreed place of battle folded up, and then had sticks added to them to enable the warrior to hold his shield in front of him with his left arm, and so ward off blows while fighting with a weapon in the right hand.
		The very existence of the homeland state of Qwaqwa has its roots firstly in disputes between certain Sotho chiefs with Moshoeshoe I, the founder of Lesotho, and secondly in the apartheid doctrine that required all areas with a majority Bantu-speaking population to attain self-government in linguistic units.

		QwaQwa defence structures formed a vital part of Pretoria’s defence system, especially in view of the homeland’s proximity to the South African border with Lesotho.
