Botswana commemorative stamps


I hope Botswana's postal service exhibits these one of the good days.

The runner post between Mafeking and Gubulawayo is commemorated with this minisheet issued in 1972 to mark the 84th anniversary of the post in Botswana.
The sheet was redrawn and a souvenir sheet was issued in 1988 on the occasion of the 100th anniversary. Both issues show the same map.
The original was drawn by Mike Bryan, and it was redrawn by Lucy Phalaagae.
