Now a “Dead” Country!

Bophuthatswana was one of the South African "homelands" or bantustans created under the apartheid system.  Located in fragmented territories within South Africa, it was declared “independent” by South Africa in 1977—though no other country recognized it as such.  Like the other homelands (Transkei, Venda, Ciskei), Bophuthatswana issued its own postage stamps until it was reincorporated into South Africa in 1994.

The last Bophuthatswana stamps were issued in early 1994, just before South Africa’s first multiracial elections.  After April 27, 1994, South African stamps replaced homeland issues.

“Dead” countries are former colonies and republics that issued stamps but no longer do.  Stamps from these lost countries are a lot of fun to collect:  You’ll get an insider’s look into each late country’s leaders, events, and history as a whole.  And with these unique stamps in your album, you’ll convert it to a little museum, preserving each country’s extinct history…

This specialized collection makes it a breeze to grow your collection fast – and without breaking the bank!  In fact, you can take the money you’re saving to add even more interesting stamps to your collection.  But order quickly, supplies are limited and vanishing…
