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.<ref name="gov-site">{{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}}</ref>

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 of South Africa|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.<ref name="sahistory">{{cite web|title=The Order of the Baobab|url=http://www.sahistory.org.za/order-baobab|website=SA History|access-date=29 January 2016}}</ref>

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