the country. It is located in the north of the country, 10km from the
border with the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). It is the capital of
the Copperbelt Province.

The municipal coat of arms for Ndola were granted by the English Kings-of-Arms by Letters Patent dated 18 June 1953 with the following blazon:
Arms: Barry
wavy of eight Or and Azure a pale Vert charged with three mullets Gold.
Crest: On a
wreath Or and Azure, on a mount a fig tree fructed the lower branches entwines
with a steel chain the links broken at each end pendent on either side all
proper.
Mantling: Azure doubled Or.
Supporters: On either side a lion holding in the mouth a steel
chain the links broken at each end pendent and reflexed over the exterior fore
leg all proper.
Motto: Indola
Nec Indolerntia (Character not Indolence)
The green vertical bar in the shield represents the tropical vegetation which surrounds Ndola, and the three gold stars represent the principal groups into which the residents of the city can be divided - commerce and industry, the civil service and the railways. They also recall that the town was originally divided into three wards. On either side of the green stripe are wavy blue lines symbolising rivers and alluding to the fact that Ndola sits on the watershed of rivers which run north into the Congo River and south into the Zambezi River. The gold portion of the shield represents the wealth derived from copper mining. The wild fig tree forming the crest is a representation of the 'slave tree' which existed in Ndola, but the chains of slavery have been wrenched loose by the two lions which support the shield.
