Rhodesia Philately: 1968 Matabeleland (1893-1968) – 6d Bulawayo & City Arms

The main motif is the coat of arms of the City of Bulawayo superimposed over a view of modern Bulawayo. The City has lived up to its motto “Si Ye Pambile”, Let us go forward, as steady progress since 1893 has led to it becoming the thriving industrial and commercial heart of Matabeleland.
