The first miniature sheet will feature a standard postage stamp bearing an image of the first stamp issued in South Africa inscribed with the words “South Africa”. The original stamp bears the words “Union of South Africa” and was issued in 1910 when South Africa became a Union. In 2010, this will mark 100 years since the original stamp was first issued. Both miniature sheets also bear the words “Joburg 2010 International Stamp Show, Sandton Convention Centre, Johannesburg, South Africa, 27 – 31 October 2010”.
