KIVU PROVINCE
Official blazon
Origin/meaning
The arms were designed in 1957-8 prior to the Brussels world fair. The arms were not officially granted, but widely used by the province.
The arms symbolise the characteristic landscape of the province with the 3 volcanoes (the central one being Niyaragongo) reflecting in the lake Kivu, the vair of gules and silver representing incandescent smokes in eruption.
