Decoration for Meritorious Services

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Decoration for Meritorious Services was an honour conferred by the apartheid-era Government of the Republic of South Africa, usually upon those appointed as State President of South Africa.

[edit] Postnominal letters

The conferral of this honour entitles the holder to the use of 'DMS' in English after their names or 'DVD' in Afrikaans after their name. Since 1994, this honour is classified as a Commonwealth of Nations honour.
