African Postal Heritage

APH Paper Nr 13, part 3 Ton Dietz

ZUID-AFRIKAANSCHE REPUBLIEK/TRANSVAAL: 1883-1899 Version January 2017

Introduction

Postage stamps and related objects are miniature communication tools, and they tell a story about cultural and political identities and about artistic forms of identity expressions. They are part of the world’s material heritage, and part of history. Ever more of this postal heritage becomes available online, published by stamp collectors’

organizations, auction houses, commercial stamp shops, online catalogues, and individual collectors. Virtually collecting postage stamps and postal history has recently become a possibility. These working papers about Africa are examples of what can be done. But they are work-in-progress! Everyone who would like to contribute, by sending corrections, additions, and new area studies can do so by sending an email message to the APH editor: Ton Dietz (dietzaj@asc.leidenuniv.nl). You are welcome!

“After the disastrous British defeat at Majuba, on 27 February 1881, Britain agreed to restore the independence of the ZAR, under elected President Paul Kruger, (Fig.9). A new republican set of stamps, designed by J. Vurtheim and typographed by Enschedé in the Netherlands, was taken in use by the ZAR between 1885 and 1893, in denominations from 1/2d to 5 Pounds”

“The local mailcart service was centered in Nylstroom, according to the references I have been able to

find. Most of the existing postal items in existence are to/from Emil Tamsen who, during this time,

lived in “Tweefontein, Waterberg”. Putzel’s listing of these two locations states the former was not

open during the time period in question. Waterberg, interestingly enough, is listed as open in 1887

with its head office being Potgietersrust. Figure 1 shows a map taken from a Union GPO map of

1911(from the endpaper of Mathews’ book) “

92 http://www.philateria.com/assets/images/Figure_1.png

“The major delivery points for the Bakker Express were Marabastad, halfway between Potgietersrust and Pietersburg, Nylstroom, and Pretoria. Therefore, three of the four labels issuedby Bakker include these names with Marabastad being abbreviated as MARABASTAD.The labels are green, blue and pink, respectively. The fee for delivery within Nylstroom was only 1/2d, while the more distant deliveries to the north or south were 1d. These values are given in each of the four corners ofthe labels.

The other notation in the center of the labels, ‘VRY/TOT POSTK,’ means loosely “free to the next

post office”. A fourth label was expressly for incoming mail using the service where the fee had not

been prepaid. This label is white and readsTE/BETALEN in the center meaning “to pay.” The value in

the corners incorrectly reads 1/2 instead of the double deficiency of 2d.”

93

http://www.philateria.com/assets/images/Figure_2.png : “Figure 2. From Mauritius to the South African Republic in 1887.”

“The first example shows an incoming usage of the “due” label. Two recorded examples are known from the New Republic sent to Mr. Tamsen, March and May 1887. Without exhaustive research to prove otherwise, the only other incoming example I know about is shown in Figure 2. This highly brittle and damaged item came from Mauritius also to Emil Tamsen. It is dated 4March 1887 and arrived in Durban and moved on to Pretoria. The strikes are only partial on the reverse without dates clearly visable. From Pretoria. the Bakker Express carried the cover to Waterberg where the due label was affixed and canceled with the fancy boxed cancel. The Mauritius stamps total 16c and the BONC B53 cancels of Port Louis would indicate that some stamps are missing. The rate from the ZAR to Mauritius in 1887 was 9dper 1/2oz.

The next two covers come from a great collection formed in South Africa that was broken up last year.

One of these a Tamsen cover with his name on it. The other was mailed with an illegible signature

from Waterberg that may also belong to Tamsen.”

“The two previously shown items in the 1998 article were cover to Senegal and a front to Switzerland

without any ZAR postage. The first of the new items (Figure 3) is a registered letter to Egypt. Mailed

1 July 1887 (registration cancel of Pretoria, Figure 4), it was routed through Durban and Natal on 5

July via London on 2 August and arrived in Alexandria on 9 August. The pink Bakker label to Pretoria

was canceled in Waterburg and paid the costs to get from Tweefontein to Pretoria (Figure 5).”

95

http://www.philateria.com/assets/images/Figure_5.png: “Figure 5. Bakker label from Figure 3 canceled Waterberg.”

“The rates were cheaper via Natal, 7 1/2d, instead of 9 1/2d via Cape Town. The additional 6d is the registration fee. The franking is made up of 1/2d, 1d (rose) and 2 x 6d all perforated 12.5 x 12 of the August 1884 Vurtheim printing.

The second cover (Figure 6) is similarly registered but going to Italy. It was mailed from Waterberg to Pretoria utilizing the same Bakker label as used for the previous letter. It arrived in Pretoria on 7 May 1887. The cancels on the front are examples of the marks used by the British some 6 years prior (Figure 6), only later supplanted by the new registration cancel used on the previous cover. The letter to Italy likewise went through Durban on 17 May via London on 14 June and arrived in Rome on 17 June. The stamps on the reverse add up to 14d and overpaid the rate by 1/2d. The stamps are canceled by the newly requisitioned truncated double circle date stamp which has “PRETORIA. Z.A.R.” in the outer ring and a tripartite date code in the center. It is unclear in the scan, but is it possibly that it is the earliest usage of this cancel. The stamps are the newly received Vurtheim issues perforated 12.5 which were shipped late in 1886. These items are keenly sought out by Transvaal and local post collectors alike and are rarities of the first order when found on cover.”

03.jpg: “Before the discovery of gold, the population of the Transvaal was largely a conservative farming community. This, however, changed suddenly with the discovery of huge deposits of gold on the Witwatersrand in 1886, which attracted British capital for the development of deep level mining and at the same time large numbers of foreigners, prospectors, diggers and traders. Johannesburg became the center of the largest and richest goldfield ever discovered. Simmer & Jack goldmine, one of the best known goldmines near Johannesburg. The farm Elandsfontein on which the mine is situated was bought by August Simmer, a German, and John Jack, a Scot; they were business partners in a small Transvaal trading store and made a fortune when the mine produced several hundred million dollars of gold”.

Johannesburg. Another four cards were issued, showing different scenes.”and “At the end of

December 1895, there was an abortive attempt by Dr Starr Jameson, who with the connivance of Cecil

Rhodes, Prime Minister of the Cape Colony, marched with 500 men of the Rhodesian Chartered

Company's police from Pitsani, Bechuanaland, to Johannesburg, and then planned to march on to

Pretoria to force the government to give the foreign population in the Transvaal, the vote. Jameson and

his officers and men were rounded up at Doornkop in the vicinity of Krugersdorp and were later

handed over to the British government for trial. In following years the matter of allowing foreigners

full political rights became a bone of contention between Britain and the government of the ZAR, to

such an extent that on 9 October 1899 the government of the ZAR delivered an ultimatum to the

British government. The ultimatum said that Britain had broken the London convention of 1884 by

interfering in the internal affairs of the ZAR and by massing troops. The terms of the ultimatum

demanded immediate assurances on four crucial points. First, Britain must agree to arbitration on "all

points of mutual difference"; second, British troops recently assembled "on the borders of this

Republic shall be instantly withdrawn"; third, "all British reinforcements that had arrived after 1 June

should be withdrawn from South Africa"; fourth, troops "which are now on the high seas shall not be

landed in any port of South Africa". Unless the British government complied within forty-eight hours,

the government of the ZAR would "with great regret be compelled to regard the action as a formal

declaration of war".
