Bechuanaland

Bechuanaland was a region north of the Cape Colony (Cape of Good Hope). This was called British Bechuanaland, different from its northern neighbor of the Bechuanaland Protectorate.
 * After the end of the Boer independent states Stellaland and Goshen in 1885, the region was declared a Crown Colony. Cape of Good Hope stamps overprinted British Bechuanaland.
 * It was annexed by Cape Colony/Cape of Good Hope in 1895. It is part of South Africa today.
