Ciskei Independence

Ciskei becomes the fourth Black homeland to be granted 'independence' by the South African Government on 4.12.1981. Chief Lennox Sebe is elected President by the National Assembly, consisting of both elected members and thirty-seven hereditary chiefs.

The four stamps depict the portrait of Lennox Sebe, the Coat of Arms of the new Republic, the flag and tribal symbols of the area. 

Thank you Maria.
