REPUBLIC
OF SOUTH AFRICA in December 1974 issued a first day cover stamp marking
the 50th anniversary of broadcasting in RSA. The postmark features the
bokmakierie (Telophorus zeylonus), a songbird that is endemic to
southern Africa, mainly in South Africa and Namibia. It was once part of
the Radio RSA shortwave interval signal. The headquarters of Radio RSA
was represented in the cachet.
Due to Covid-19 pandemic this FDC took a year to reach Malaysia from South Africa.
