South Africa-Natal 1906 OAS cover to Reefton, NZ, ex volunteer during the mid-1906 Bambatha Rebellion in South Africa, bearing 11 July 1906 Stanger, Natal cds, oval T/10c taxe mark in black, & NZ 1d vert pair P Dues tied by 15 AUG 1906 Reefton cdss. The Zulu uprising against paying taxes to the British, lasted for about 6 weeks before being suppressed. Mail from those involved with subduing the rebellion could be sent free of charge within Natal but because the rebellion was deemed by postal authorities to be a local matter, OAS mail sent outside Natal was deemed to be short paid & therefore taxed accordingly. This cover charged at international p/c rate of 1d (equivalent to 10 gold centimes - hence the taxe mark) & was thus charged 2d upon delivery in Reefton. Vendor states this p/c is the only reported taxed p/c from the Bambatha Rebellion.
