Not a stripper, not a pole dancer, not a "Cat" on the catwalk, not "The 400-pounds Zorilla" - The Striped Polecat (Ictonyx striatus, also called the African Polecat, Zoril, Zorille or Zorilla)

It stinks worse than some politicians' hidden agenda. Certain exceptions apply.

"The Striped Polecat (Ictonyx striatus, also called the African Polecat, Zoril, Zorille or Zorilla) is a member of the Mustelidae family (weasels) which somewhat resembles a skunk. It is found in savannahs and open country in southern and west Africa."

Maximum card from Bophuthatswana, ex-bantustan, now part of the Republic of South Africa.

If a bantustan was able to have such nice pictorial postmarks, why can't ALL the "First World" postal administrations?

Notice the triple concordance: stamp, postcard, pictorial postmark. :)

Now, let's verify concordance from the standpoint of the FIP Commission for Maximaphily.

"• The concordance of subject is the essential characteristic of a real maximum
card. This concordance between the illustration of the postage stamp and the one of the
picture postcard must be as close as possible and visually verifiable."
We already established that the subject is present here even on the pictorial postmark, right?

"• The concordance of place requires a connection between the name of the place or
the locality written in the postmark and the subject of the postage stamp and of the postcard.
The "first day cancellation" can only be used when it is in accordance with the above-mentioned condition."
Now, what about the place of postmarking? Is Mogwase good enough?
I don't know. Do you? How the hell should I know? :)
"Mogwase is a rapidly developing town located close to Sun City.
Attractions

Tourist attractions include Sun City and Pilanesberg National Park."

Well, that's good enough for me - close to a national park. Or you want me to find a post office right near a zorilla?


• "The concordance of time is defined by the date of the postmark, within the period

of validity of the postage stamp."

This zorilla stamp should be valid, for all I know (and for all I care).

After all, this is an official maximum card, issued by the Postal Administration.
