Ciskei

Ciskei was a so-called independent tribal land for ethnic Xhosas within South Africa during the Apartheid era. It was located in southeastern South Africa.


 * In 1981, it issued an independence issue and its first definitives. All stamps were inscribed CISKEI with no mention of South Africa which probably suited South Africa just fine.
 * Bophuthatswana's last issue was released in April 1994. The homeland returned to South Africa that month.
