Additional information
This cover was postmarked on 30 June 1995 at Johannesburg and catalogued as SAPO 6.20a. Its cachet featured a clock tower, a nod to Johannesburg's status as South Africa's largest and most industrialised city. Gauteng was the smallest of the country's nine provinces by area yet it produced the largest share of South Africa's economic output, making it a natural choice for this kind of tourism promotion.
