All Venda in stamps

The Republic of Venda was created by the South African government as an independent homeland for the Venda people. It existed from 1979 to 1995.

When South Africa moved to a democratic form of government, Venda was incorporated into the new South Africa and ceased to exist as a separate entity.
Venda stamps, which were issued regularly over the 15 years of the republic's existence, are increasingly hard to obtain. They are well designed, valuable in themselves, and are also prized as collectors' items. An additional benefit is that detailed information on the subjects that are pictured in the stamps are provided in fact sheets that accompany the original first-day covers.
 
A few of the many stamps that were issued are available for purchase here. A mint unused stamp set or individual set as well as information on the item featured on the stamp will be included with your stamp order.

We are regularly adding more stamps—so keep checking.

Mountain pride butterfly - 50 cent Venda stamp set

Mountain pride butterfly 

Unlike most butterflies of the Satyridae family, the mountain pride is spectacular in size and colour. This species usually inhabits the higher and more mountainous areas and on hot days may be seen resting on the shady side of rocks or banks. They are vigorous and rapid fliers which normally fly only during the summer from December to March. They appear to have a predilection for red flowers.
