2533 c image1896 (July 18) Matabele Rebellion Mail to "Pretoria, Transvaal" with Bulawayo Provisional Overprints 'BRITISH/SOUTH AFRICA/COMPANY' on Cape of Good Hope 1d rose block of 4 with largely fine central 'BULAWAYO/RHODESIA' cds, minor edge faults & light vertical fold clear of the stamps. The rate was 4d per ½oz Southern Africa letter. In April 1896 Bulawayo was besieged by 10,000 Matabele warriors with only the southern road to Tati remaining open. Shortages of stamps led to local surcharges, and then a request to the Cape to provide provisional overprints, which arrived in early-May 1896. The siege was lifted in August 1896. (Image1) (Image2)

Although Rhodesia joined the UPU on 1.3.1901, the overseas letter rate remained at the pre-UPU 4d per ½oz level until reduced to 2½d on 1.12.1902. Thus, the rate was triple 4d per ½oz letter plus 4d registration fee.

The rate is unclear: Rhodesia joined the UPU on 1.3.1901, adopting its 1d per 2oz overseas newspaper rate, but it is unlikely that this wrapper would have been able to hold 16oz of newspaper; it appears to have paid double the pre-UPU 4d per ½oz letter rate.
