What is a definitive stamp?

A definitive stamp series is issued every five to seven years and comprises a set of designs in a full range of face values to provide for the country’s postal needs. They usually reflect a particular theme such as the seventh definitive series, colourful South Africa which depicts fish, flowers, birds and butterflies.

What is a commemorative stamp?

A commemorative stamp-issuing programme is compiled each year and between 12 and 15 commemorative issues are produced per year. Their themes and issue dates often coincide with a particular event such as National Heritage Day, National Marine Day, World Post Day, et cetera.
