Signage:

The image, its layout vaguely reminiscent of a book or passport, features a tortoise, a symbol of resilience and longevity, with its shell featuring various symbols of South African life. Like the tortoise who carries her house with her, South Africans are now free from the unjust Bantustan systems and pass laws to move and reside wherever they please, as illustrated by winged huts flying over a vast landscape.

Themes: Pass laws
Human Rights Day
Constitutional links: Freedom of movement and residence (section 21)
