The Order of the Baobab is a South African civilian national honour, awarded to those for service in business and the economy; science, medicine, and for technological innovation; and community service. It was instituted on 6 December 2002, and is awarded annually by the President of South Africa. The order is named after the baobab tree, which was chosen as a symbol because of its endurance and tolerance, its vitality, its importance in agro-forestry systems, and its use as a meeting place in traditional African societies.{{cite web|title=The Order of the Baobab|url=http://www.thepresidency.gov.za/pebble.asp?relid=7527|website=The Presidency South Africa|access-date=29 January 2016|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140613050109/http://www.thepresidency.gov.za/pebble.asp?relid=7527|archive-date=13 June 2014}}

Until the Order of Luthuli and the Order of Ikhamanga were established in 2004, the Order of the Baobab also covered service in the fields now covered by those orders.

Current classes

The three classes of appointment to the order are, in descending order of precedence:

  • Supreme Counsellor of the Baobab in gold, for exceptional service (SCOB)
  • Grand Counsellor of the Baobab in silver, for distinguished service (GCOB)
  • Counsellor of the Baobab in bronze, for dedicated service (COB)

Symbolism

The central motif is a baobab tree, one of the oldest trees in Africa, with roots symbolising longevity. The badge is bordered by a nonagon shape, a nine-sided polygon, with each side representing one of the nine South African provinces. It represents the many different areas of possible contribution and service, in building a prosperous nation. The roughly rectangular shaped plaque, is textured to represent the baobab tree bark that is commonly used to make mats and hats.{{cite web|title=The Order of the Baobab|url=http://www.sahistory.org.za/order-baobab|website=SA History|access-date=29 January 2016}}

The ribbon is gold, with recurring cream-coloured baobab silhouettes down the centre. All three classes are worn around the neck. The South African coat of arms is displayed on the reverse of the badge.
